indeed, i would say that most religions would have as many variations as adherants. But how does a true athiest deal with the problem of good and evil? With out a God or other absolute moral standard, they can't really condemn evil, even if they are personally moral, etc..., because they only have their personal moral standards to express. If you can live with this, fine, but i found it quite untenable to say to myself that the horror and cruelty of the world was just behavior that i personally didn't engage in. Accepting that my disgust was really an indication that there was a Right and Wrong (with capitol letters to indicat universality/asolutivity)...was probably the single most important decisions i've made.
