I would say that Christ would have authority when it comes to that. I can find nothing wrong with his words. He speaks only truth and when I read them I can feel it.

Yes. When he said love one another. Be good to one another. That is the greatest truth I have ever heard. Imagine if everyone did that. What a world of peace it would be.
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. -Mohandas Gandhi

if you don't believe in God how can He protect you. you chose to live life on your own. the people that rape, steal and murder have chosen the same. it's only makes sense that they will be on a collision course.
Many, many people who rape, steal and murder believe in God. Many do it in His name.

I believe he is saying that people kill, rape and pillage regardless of religion, sometimes religion even encourages it. The Bible surely does.
Stating that all New Yorkers are of a certain "toughness" as fact, is as baseless and ignorant as stating that your bible is fact.

"Why do atheists celebrate Christmas and Easter since both of these holidays are to honor Yeshua (Jesus)? Why are most people (including the atheists) going into debt to buy "Christmas" presents? Why not totally ignore this holiday by going to work and carrying on, as usual? Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to join in the festivities when you clearly abhor their very reason for being? The excuses that "everybody else is doing it" or "I have no other choice because my place of employment is closed on Christmas" aren't valid....The fact is, if you in any way partake in the festivities, then you are a hypocrite because you're catering to the Christian belief. Take action at your place of employment and INSIST on your right to work during Christian holidays, because you, by God, are atheist!"

Actually some people follow Christmas if they are Atheists because it is a time to be with family, and share your love with your family. It is a respect thing.
I could ask you why you are celebrating a very Pagan holiday, but honestly it doesn't matter why you celebrate the holiday, it is a time to give, no matter the religion.
