self righteous atheists....

And I'm sort of a bad boy too.

Maybe they'll hate me. We shouldn't let that stop our love. You and I and Laura against the world. :biggrin:

 

Omigosh. Riding in the pouch of a roo to the moon is actually the formula for a time machine ride back to 1955!

 

I'm kind of in and out of engagements at the moment...

 

I'll wait for you. :biggrin:

 

You might have to fight off many men and women

 

I kickbox. I'm going to fight off crocs for ya, my aussie love.

 

If you didn't have such a nice face i'd call you a slut.

She's a kiwi!

 

I see her profile silly. :biggrin:

 

i vote Jait take my place in this three-way wedding.

meanwhile, I'll go learn the most important thing about the moon over and over again in this video:

pimpin'

 

Did anyone else attempt to bribe god as a kid?

I remember I had decided I was an atheist when I was 8. And it held pretty firm.

But there were a couple times when I really needed something, so I tried praying. It worked, probably half the time. "If I get that nintendo I'll go to church."

Then I kinda wimped out on it. :biggrin:

 

i was religious for about a year or two, and it was the most amazing feeling. i kept it to myself. my views gradually changed, but i don't regret once being religious. it really shaped me.

i'm not an atheist, though.

yeah, we already know you're a wimp. tell me something new.

 

Never really believed in a God type. I did used to ask my "Angel" to help me look for things, though. This, of course, is going back almost a decade. Since I'm all old and such .

 

what is an angel if not a minor god?

 

I can never really seem to make up my mind on this subject. I do agree that some hardline athiests are about as stupid and zealous as the most misguided Christians. The people that irk me the most are those that blame the world's problems either on religion, or a lack of religion.

At the same time it is kind of sad that some people choose to believe in something which obviously isn't real.

 

i smell trouble.

 

i find it hard to believe in any strict and dogmatic doctrines of any major established faith. i cannot make a leap of faith to say that i believe in the trinity, that jesus is gods only human embodiment/representative/son, that he rose from the dead, and that mere belief is sufficient to achieve salvation. i cannot make a leap of faith to believe in virtually any aspect of christianity.

i also cannot accept that all of existence is strictly empirical and material

 

I agree with you, I can't stand when people look down on you as if they have a superior way of thinking/living it's probably more ignorant than the people they're trying to put down.

 

Why do you always have to challenge what I say even though you're so much more smarter, wiser, and more experienced than I?

It was not a minor God. Perhaps this depends on someone's definition of a God. And mine is not a little spirit type that helps you remember where you put things. It was not an angel, it's name was Angel

Or maybe it was an angel.

Who knows.

 

I feel the same way. I was very much into God and all that jazz for a year or so and it really changed my life. Religion taught me a lot about compassion and humility....ideas that aren't so obvious in secular culture. It was great when I realized I could strive to be compassionate and humble, as well as be a drunk, have guilt free sex and use sunday morning to study for my biology exams instead of going to church.
