I think its all a load of shite

If it happens it happens now or not at all. Every moment is all new.

 

thedope-

how does it happen?

 

No one knows.

I don't respect an atheist that isn't willing to admit that, any more than I respect a Christian or Islamist that isn't willing to admit that. An atheist doesn't have doctrines that deny it though.

 

Well, I suppose you and I have found a pretty good middle ground. You might be happier as an Agnostic. Just a suggestion.

 

Original post did come across as quite stand-offish but it was really late, I was pretty bollocksed and also had very recently dealt with two suicides. Wasnt intending it on coming across as such an attacking of others beliefs but I can get carried away sometimes.

Nearly went on a long rant there of putting forth my views in a more relaxed sense but have to nip down to the offy before it shuts

:cheers2:

 

I consider my beliefs to be atheist; but humans to be naturally agnostic (or else we would know, right?)

I would be happier if I was not raised to believe in a God that I despise -- but it's a little too late for that. Maybe one day I will find peace -- and if not, I'm sure my molecules will =)

 

Bad.Fish- We all get like that. I empathize. I hope this thread was helpful to you.

Duck- I have found, in my experiences, that it is better to redefine god than discount it. The problem with that word is that it means too many things to too many people. I share your belief that the christian god is a fable that has been more harmful than it has been beneficial.

 

....Wat?

 

Magnanimous intent. I don't know where it came from. If it is eternal it has no beginning and no end, just presence.

 

Nope, wasnt helpful at all :cheers2:

Wasnt meant to be

Just my view on existence being no more than that, although because of that I think that makes me value mine a lot more than I would. Got to make the most of the only thing were really sure of.

Never in my life been depressed, had shite days but no more than that. Never seen the point in shit like that when its just up to me for what frame of mind Im in. I think Im always going to be fine whatever Im doing, had some of the best times of my life staying in squats and tents through Europe. Always seemed to be happiest roughing it and living each day unexpectedly rather than having a secure and comfortable life, always felt like lifes slipping into a rut when things start getting too comfortable.
