Diane - I did not say that and did not mean to imply that. Those who believe are certainly capable of doing good things in some sense, but are still affected by the sinful (imperfect) nature we all have. I respect a person who is honest about unbelief, and I admire your honesty, but believing something does not make it fact. I believed vehemently these men were under Union Protection, but might be (and probably am) wrong.  As a side note I thought this behavior to be so outlandish and stupid that only a person under Union protection would do something like this.

Back to the point - We all place our faith in something, I place my faith in the God of the Bible, you place your faith that the God of the Bible does not exist. God is referred to a "he" in the Bible, but is described as being "Spirit" so the gender pronoun as we understand it would not apply to him. I respect your honesty and willingness to listen and thank you for defending my right to speak on the blog.
