Have you every looked at the scammer accusation part of this forum? Why do so many people scam for fg? Don't act like it doesn't happen. For those who are genuine Christians they would believe in the stuff like the 10 commandments where one of them is "Thou shalt not steal." Yet they steal. If people are doing that yet they claim to be Christian I would seriously question whether they are truly inspired by the Holy Spirit. The point of Christianity is that you are changed from the inside out. You love and serve God and this is shown by servings others and putting them before you.
By stealing you are putting yourself above all others, which is not the message of Christianity. So when I go to the scammer accusation forums and I see all of these people scamming, I do not think that very many of the scammers would say that they believe in God almighty.
People scam fg because they are greedy, but you need to remember that often those are some underaged kids. Kids often havent grown moral values properly, be they atheist, jews or christians. What comes to 10 commandments. I think i remember there being something about not killing, yet a christian took shits tons of soldiers to middle east to kill people, and did it IN THE NAME OF GOD. Many of the american soldiers are christians, yet they go kill people and try to deal with the situation with anger and logic associated with lucifer, instead trying to approach it with the attitude of the love and compassion that jesus taught.

Wisneski and his fellow researchers found that religious and nonreligious people commit similar numbers of moral acts. The same was found to be true for people on both ends of the political spectrum. And regardless of their political or religious leanings, participants were all found to be more likely to report committing, or being the target of, a moral act rather than an immoral act. They were also much more likely to report having heard about immoral acts rather than moral acts.
However, there were some differences in how people in different groups responded emotionally to so-called "moral phenomena," Wisneski said. For example, religious people reported experiencing more intense self-conscious emotions — such as guilt, embarrassment, and disgust — after committing an immoral act than did nonreligious people. Religious people also reported experiencing a greater sense of pride and gratefulness after committing moral deeds than their nonreligious counterparts.
Liberals and conservatives also tended to think of moral phenomena in different ways. In other words, though they seemed to experience the same amount of moral and immoral acts, they had different ways of talking about these experiences.
"Liberals more often mention moral phenomena related to fairness and honesty," Wisneski said. "Conservatives more often mention moral phenomena related to loyalty and disloyalty or sanctity and degradation."
