Why I think atheism is a waste...

Atheism is the belief in no god(s), an agnostic niether believes or disbelieve in god(s), a theist believes in god(s).

Everybody is one of the three choices. You can still live and not focus on religion but religion is a theist thing. Even if you don't believe in any religion but you still believe in god(s), you are still a theist.

 

I think you'd be on the right track. Be true to yourself. The golden rule is no divine word, it is common sense to any sociable person with a functioning mind and conscience. To do good deeds simply for the expectation of reward for said good deeds is to be borderline criminally insane. Living "good" and expecting a reward is simply not truly good.

Just remember life is a ride, not a destination and if there is an afterlife we will have great spectator seats to the devil wars! JK!

 

I think the God who created us and gave us life and all we have today deserves to be worshipped and has the right to expect it. How could you compare God to the devil?! That is very stupid. God does not torture people He offers salvation.

 

But if its all true...god sends people to suffer. People suffer on earth. People are losing their house right now as I speak thanks to the supply and demand bullshit. Too many of them pray. Why dont they have a house? Why arent things looking up? Why is it only getting worse? I dont mean to "attack" you but these are questions that seemed to be unanswered by everyone of the christian faith.

Wiccans are questioned by christians all the time. Buddists are. and countless others are. But for some reason...when a question like that is asked by one of them...it goes on un-answered.

 

excellent reply zombie

Christians IMHO normally think their the hot shit
Their god is strong better faster and more good looking than all the others
oh yeah and if you dont believe it lakes of fire and hot coals up the butt for eternity
yeah right
heaven and hell are both internal judgements at the end of your life
you will make your own reality after you are gone and eventually you will be back again

 

If he's going to go around demanding to be worshipped he could at least have the decency to exist:toetap05:

 

According to the Bible, God clearly tortures people, even just to prove an egomaniacle point to the devil. It would in fact appear that the devil can easily manipulate your so called God to impose suffering on his people.

So then you DON"T believe in the Bible? I could have sworn you were heavily endorsing it a few pages back?

 

Most "new age spiritualist" say they do not believe in any holy texts other than the ones they have constructed in there own heads, or if they do pledge allegiance to a well known doctrine will attempt to save face by saying most of the ridicules statements made within it are not to be taken literally.

If you believe in the actual supernatural you have been fooled.

 

If wasn't for Satan convincing Eve to eat the apple you wouldn't even be able to comprehend the bible. Satan gave mankind the wisdom and knowledge that god denied us. Why did God condemn us to live our live as beasts? Why were we not worthy? I don't believe any of that christian nonsense I just call them like I see them.

 

Maybe the bible is not gods word but satans? I believe that is more reasonable than the view of most god fearing individuals, but honestly I believe in neither and it is only luck that we are here. The only reason I can comprehend that a true god would do that is to hide himself from the devil, which would imply that god is not omnipotent.

clementine, are you for real? you seem to be lacking in the departments of both reading comprehension and common sense. there are so many contradictions, fallacies, bigoted and downright malevolent stories & lectures in the bible, it baffles me that someone who has actually read that book would willingly believe in (not to mention worship!) the evil bastard god it promotes.

zombie, yes, it's perfectly fine to just live. as you live, you will learn, and understand. you will form your own opinions, philosophies and beliefs, and you do not need anything but your inherently good human nature to be a good, moral person. you don't have to label yourself anything.

 

A puzzle that is never complete in the end....
It isn't a competition, because we all kind of lose from this perspective.

 

Well said We don't need these childish crutches...

 

What if your legs are broken?
We are all human...

 

Speak for yourself

 

REPTILE!
