Atheism

When discussing potential topics for a researched argument paper, I brought up the negative perception of mixed martial arts as well as the negative perception of atheism. My professor responded with interest saying "Yes, this seems to be a popular area of discussion. Can an atheist be a moral person?" she asked rhetorically.

If that seems like a legitimate question to you, you're a fucking idiot. Seriously, all kinds of retarded. That's like saying no one truly ethical exists. That's like saying if people didn't fear a god or gods or whatever the fuck, they would have no reason to act morally.

I'm an atheist. I have no problem admitting it. I know that I'm a good person. I was raised and influenced by good people. And it seems much more ignoble to act out of fear than kindness, doesn't it?
