I think we've reached the point in our discussion where we see and understand one another's arguments, but don't feel compelled to believe them.

Seriously, I do see your reasoning, Hashim, and I can see why you think the way you do.

Can I turn your argument on its head for a second and say that maybe God created man with a desire for doing 'bad' things (like the way children desire sweets) but with a deeper, ingrained knowledge that they should really do 'good' things (like when adults grow up and stop eating at MacDonalds).

So assuming that the above is true, and that God did make man with a fundamental knowledge of what's right and wrong, we could say that although an Atheist refuses to accept the existence of a higher God, he is still hardwired to believe in the right and wrong things that God has programmed within him.

In which case:

Acknowledging a belief in God will not make you a good or bad person, because inherent within you is a desire to good things.
