I mean, if you wanna debate about atheists hating Christians for the hate they say Christians have... and how utterly hypocritical that is... we can argue all day. For people like MS getting uppity about saying not all 'godly' people are good people, tho, I feel like it's more a semantic argument than a theological one.
I totally get that if to you, Godly means people who want to out-believe other people, then they're not inherently good people. Then saying they are all good people is as much a blanket statement as saying they're all bad people. It's not really a subjective matter if your definition of Godly is 'like god.' Saying: Moral people are inherently moral. - is not a blanket statement.
