JAMES s. says: "I think a moral code is inherent in most people. I don't see atheists pillaging and plundering."
There are differences in what people perceive to be moral. An example of this is that some people's moral code says it's okay to kill unborn children and another's says it is murder to commit such an act.
Atheists pillage and plunder all the time. Just look at the ACLU and all the lawsuits they are involved in to try and get christianity out of government and public life. They are the epitome of atheists pillaging and plundering.

No, we atheists are working to prevent the government from giving religious fanatics unconstitutional license to pillage and plunder.
Sour grapes and projection.
Some people's moral code says that slavery is wrong and that no one should be stoned to death for being a rape victim. And then there is the Bible.
If the worst "pillaging and plundering" that you ever experience is that someone wants to take away your special privileges, then you're more fortunate than a lot of people.
Meanwhile, one half of you fundy christians feel it is perfectly justifiable to beat gays to death with a baseball bat while the other half defends their faith by claiming that no real christian would do such a thing. You can't have it both ways. You wish so badly that atheists are the evil your faith tells you they are, that you are willing to forsake your own moral code to do so. Judgement at it's finest fundy.
Awwww, poor little victim you. Not much of an epitome, but you had to scrape up something. Nothing in the Byebull recognizes "unborn children", but it was fine for Jehovamagod to kill first-born chillun of all ages! Hate to be the one to break it to you, but your moral compass is more of a weather-vane.
get christianity out of government
That's a bad thing? Oh right, you lot want a Theocracy. Nevermind.
Please get a dictionary and a helpful, bright person to help you use it. Look up "pillage" and "plunder." Notice that none of the definitions are anything like anything the ACLU actually does.
Get that helpful, bright person to help you sew you mouth shut until you know what you're talking about.
Has to be born to be a child. Until then it's only a fetus. And if removing a fetus is murder, than so is removing a tumor.
And it's not just christianity that should be out of the government, ALL religions belong out of it. Heck, I understood why that is when I was 5, but I'm not sure a fundie could ever understand such simple logic.
If you consider the ACLU plunderers and pillagers for enforcing the seperation of church and state, I would hate to see you in Iraq or Afghanistan where they are real thugs, racketeers, and murderers running around.
Um, hi, the ACLU supports anyone whose rights they feel are being restricted. That includes those fundie arseholes at the Westboro Baptist Church and any other group. They don't defend atheism first, they defend the Constitution first. It only looks like they go after the Christians because it's the fundie Christians who are trying to restrict other peoples' rights, more often than not.
...on that day was seen a fleet of long-ships thronging the shore. Heathenish North-men slaughtered many, caring little whether they be male or female, young or old. Those they did not slay were caried away as slaves as part of their plunder...
Wait, wait, wait! we're not talking about vikings?
Well, according to most sane people in the world, eating lobster is delicious(I subscribe to that)and the Bible say that it's an abomination. However, who do you think would be more fucked up?, the Orthodox Jewish if I eat lobster, or people who have been pillaged and plundered, really, not in the old fashion way?
No, it's atheists trying to be fair and let everybody pray to their own god. Mine is probably a robot.
Still, conglaturations on finally understanding the connection between morality and religion.
I expect that many, if not most members of the ACLU are Christians or at least theists of some stripe.
Also, since when do lawsuits = pillaging and plundering?
Nah. I prefer my pillaging and plundering the old-fashioned way. Sword in one hand, bottle of alcohol in the other, and a few women for afters!
All this lawsuit garbage is namby-pamby wishy-washy horseshit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
