Do you find it strange that the atheist spends the precious seconds of the only life
Ranting about a being they don't even believe exists? Isn't that a pointless waste of time for one who is convinced he will become worm food and nothing else?
without the burden of a god i find i am able to be more productive. for example, i could mow the law on Sunday mornings instead of waking up and going to church.
YES! its like if you don't care Sooh ... why are you here? why don't you do something else to occupy your time like take up hobbies and etc. I think maybe just maybe they want salvation.
Why do I spend any time in here? Because I hope that I will encourage just a few people to think for themselves, to be rational, and to live a better life, rather than hoping for an eternity in paradise.
Also, I am pretty disgusted by what happens in this world because of, or in the name of religion.
No, I became an atheist because of people "ranting" about there not being a god and I'm glad I listened to them, I'm just trying to pass the message along to other people so they don't have to be drug down by their false beliefs, besides, I really enjoy doing it.
I've often wondered this, myself, and the best conclusion I've been able to come up with is that most of them don't like being told any given position of theirs is morally wrong.
Now, I don't believe in dogmatic compulsion, but many atheists seem to react as if they are under such compulsion when they are in no such position.
One answerer said he doesn't like Christian thought in government. Every law is a moral assertion, and in every country that line is drawn. The debate is where the moral line is drawn, not who should get a say in what happens in their own country.
No. I find it strange to live your life adhering to a set of rules that other humans told you is supposed to get you into the next life...which supposedly exists but hey you don't know you just gotta have faith...and like mommy and daddy told you that the afterlife is real...so like...it must be!
THAT is strange. Living your life to the fullest and living for yourself, for humanity, and for this world--that's commendable. at least I can say I didn't need incentive to be a good person. I expect nothing but to die and rot like everyone else...but I STILL care about others and hope to leave a good mark on this world while I'm alive.
We don't rant, we react. You say there is a god and we are going to hell. We react. You force legislation on people removing their basic human rights, we react. You go about killing people in the name of the "god of unconditional love", we react. you rant we don't.
