[asm]If you werent raised by intolerant parents you wouldnt be a devout ass hole.
Who are you to claim to know my parents!? My mother is the nicest, most understanding, soft-hearted woman in the world, you fucking cocksucker! You just can't stand to accept that an atheist was brought into this world without his parents being Nazis or Bolsheviks!
Note below how our dear friend ASM calls me ignorant, and yet makes 16 spelling/grammatical errors in this one paragraph.
It is you who is you who are ignorant,There is there arepeople who are raised by achoholics alcoholics and drug abusers missing comma or semi-colon uncaring parents like my Grandfather improper capitalization who beat his kids and beat my grand ma spelling error because he was always drunk punctuation here if I had choice between that and parents who had moral standards as a christian inconsistency with your subject; "parents" would be "a christian" I choose the christian. what he's claimig is that all non-Christians are drunkards who bear their families. My father was raised by a athiest "an atheist" family but for some reason after his best freind sp died in a car accident he asked were where do we go when we die, whats "what's" the point of life? So he studied bible missing definitive article since he was curious about it. My dad always said if I didnt apostrophe believe in it I dont missing apostrophe have to be part of the religion. So I am a christian capitalize proper religions and ethnicities out of choice.
I'm ignorant for calling you wrong; but you lampoon all non-Christians as wife-beatin' drunks! :shake:
[geno]Apparently, Darunia would have no problem accepting that a person ceases to exist when they die, but not a lot of people have that same strength.
Where does this come from? Atheists, who don't believe in afterlives but rather eternal oblivion, are, according to you, happy with dying? Whereas religious people, who believe in perpetual happiness after death, fear it? What's wrong with you! People who actually know and understand death fear it, not those who welcome it as the gateway to bliss! I fear death ten fold more than you, I promise you that!
[gr]What's so great about being an athiest anyway?
Nothing--nothing at all, it's stark, comparatively sad, and miserable. Thusly unpopular. But doing things because they're pleasant, if not true, is no reason to be done.
[em]The thought that when I die I simply cease to be is a very depressing prospect. Even if that might be the case when my time is up (which I don't believe it is), it's more comforting to think that there is eternal heaven waiting for me.
I quite agree; it's the worst possible fate that one can imagine; eternal oblivion, yet it awaits us all. I'd love to believe in eternal salvation. Unfortunately, one cannot just choose to believe in something.
Life would seem awfully futile and pointless if there is nothing to look forward to when it's over. People seek religion for comfort, for guidance, even for a reason to live. Whether or not we have physical proof is irrelevant, because we don't need it.
You're quite right again; life IS indeed pointless. Produce; spread your seed, and then die. Do you want to know why we have no point? Because we weren't designed; we evolved from the simplest organic compounds, without direction.
[weltall]You call us ignorant, Darunia, because some of us do not believe that mankind is the highest form of existence.
Putting words in my mouth, Weltall. As far as we know, we are the highest intelligence; but the universe is unexplored, there could be highly developed aliens out there.
Yet, you pigeonhole yourself by refusing to open your mind. I will not say evolution is a sham, and I will not say that the universe was created in seven calendar days six thousand years ago. But I still believe that there is too much order to things for it all to be born out of random chaos. I believe a higher being, at the very least, had a hand in it.
