Not necessarily. You could have similar values as the church and just derive them from a different source (although I would argue that this source is then by definition your God and you’re not really an atheist), or you could have no values at all.

But if atheism means you care about all the things the church condemns, then your God is simply the antithesis of their God, which also means you aren’t really as much of an atheist as you think you are, but rather an anti-theist.

Came here to say this. Perhaps if they'd been inside, the outcome would have been different.

Well, secular society has been anti-slavery and pro-woman for at least a hundred years now, and pro-LGBT for at least 20. Would you say things seem to be improving? Because it appears to me that they're getting worse.

While I do think it's fairly obvious that many (if not most) Christians have lost the plot, I don't think that it's Christianity's fault per se. The philosophy expounded in the Gospels is pretty sound, the problem is that few people actually follow it. Almost everyone everyone out there compromises themselves in some way in order to survive, and to that extent, their faith is worthless.

Nice, I was working on this one as well but didn’t have any results with enough pizazz. I like the idea of having a beehive made of macaroni.

EDIT: here's my best take:

No, it took a few iterations to refine it because Bing seems to like to automatically add the words “whimsical” and “party” to your prompt without even asking.

It's almost as if all starches aren't created equal or something... 🤔
