Despite being pressed for time, I feel impelled to respond to one of Mario's utterly absurd repetitions that, because Christians supposedly follow a Christian moral code, it is possible to anticipate how they will behave (as per their code) while this cannot be said for atheists until they are arrested for infringments of the law and get arrested.
Firstly, were it possible to anticipate infringments of the law, by Christians or by atheists, there simply would not be a need to spend vast quantites of money regulating people through the legal process. Secondly, atheists, in say the USA, are an absolute and insignificant minority. The vast amount of crime in the USA is definitely committed by "rock solid Christians"--the bulk of the population. Of course, Mario would now be capable of saying that the criminal population were not Christian because they had transgressed Christian teaching. What a Charlie?
