Yes they are, we are all endowed with a natural law. Even a mass murderer like Jeffrey Dahmer knew what he was doing was wrong.

The reason atheists cannot understand the concept of a God is because first of all they ignore the natural law that each of us has. Therefore they are unable to recognize the one who implanted natural law in each of us.

next time use your brain to combat me instead of getting all worked up to try and 'get me' with little one liners. you'll make less mistakes that way.
I'm sorry but mutation cannot ALSO mean a change. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation
I'm afraid you're out of your element. Pick up a book once in a while. I re-read your post and it's pretty clear. You don't have to backpedal. As far as making mistakes, you haven't made 1 accurate point yet. LOL

Jeez, you guys are so uneducated. Jeffery Dahmer suffered from anti-social personality disorder. It's a psychological condition. You really need to start thinking for yourself instead of lapping up everything that's spoon fed to you.

Your ignorance is just insane. Have you ever heard of the crusades? Of the salem witch trials? Probably more bad things have been done in the name of God than by atheists. Think about something before you talk or type it out.

Yeah, as I said before, atheists comprise less than 1% of prison inmates. He hasn't addressed that, though.

Whatever it is you're trying to do, it certainly is not representing your standpoint well.

Conflating "understanding" with "acceptance" is weak logic. I daresay it is not logical at all. Even supplanting your misused word for an accurate word, your statement crumbles.

Please try harder.

Again, presupposing points. Im pretty sure, as a theist, you cannot objectify your belief so that you do not presuppose it in every point you make. Morals and Conscience are not the same thing. This is linguistic, so follow...You break your own morals, you feel bad, like you have a dirty conscience..Or when people act against their morals, they feel like they have a heavy conscience. See the diff? They are not the same thing.

3. a change or alteration, as in form or nature.

Ooh, ooh. Define "God" next. Apparently there are some people who do not UNDERSTAND the concept.

First off, did they claim not to be atheists before or after they entered prison. Secondly people use the excuse of a belief in God for early release. Thirdly where did you read that less than one percent of prisonsoners claim to be atheists?
