"Anywayze, atheists do not fly airliners into office buildings. "
Good point. I've always stated that true atheists are the least threatening people I know. Without a belief in an afterlife and some judgmental creature sorting things out, you tend to value the time here on Terra Firma rather highly.
Contemplating murder (other than the fantasy world of concealed road rage I engage in daily) is not just sending the victim on to their just reward; it's putting a complete and utter end to that individual's existence.
Suicide, other than to rid oneselve of excruciating pain and suffering, is a huge and final step to an atheist. I'd much prefer flying in an airplane with rows filled with non-believers than a bunch people looking forward to their reward in Heaven.
