Oh brother!
You coulda summed all that up in one word: WAAAAH!
You call yourself a practical thinker AND 'god-fearing???'
Talk about a poseur!!!!
I initially came to this forum as an atheist-leaning agnostic to see how on earth supposedly 'intelligent' people could allow themselves to be suckered into such superstition.
Now it's pretty much just entertainment.
The more I see people haggling over whose version of The Great Pumpkin and all his magical, mystical minions, the less I believe anybody has any real 'intelligence.'
Sure, I'm not college educated-Hell, I'm not even fully high school educated-but I know BS when I see it.
I don''t care what kind of degree you have in whatever.....If you tell me in one breath how educated you are and then in the next go on about your ancient sheep herder's myth-there's no way I'm going to believe you're educated. Educated people know why things happen. They don't have to blame things on invisible skydaddies.
Heh....
Just like Best, I'd call believing in myths a 'failure..'
Didja ever notice that most atheists won't 'attack' anybody without provocation?
No, they usually won't.
They, like me came here to see what makes religitards tick. Or maybe because somebody keeps screaming at them from streetcorners to REPENT!
Or maybe because they finally got their s*!t on straight and started thinking for themselves instead of letting some preacher charge them weekly to think for them and just wanna watch the circus from the cheap seats...
I personally had BeeGie tell me I was 'surely hellbound' for not believing in skydaddy.
I didn't even have to 'walk the walk.' Nope. All I hadda do was 'believe' and I'da had ma "Cosmic Easy Button."
But yeah, sometimes I do come here to argue with the god zombies-
Why not? They argue with me all day long! (And most of 'em think I'm one of them!)
(Is that a christian thing? Believing each other to be so weak that you all need constant religious nannying to 'keep the faith?')
Pfft. And you xtians say ATHEISTS have no morals or guidance.
WE don't HAVE TO constantly remind each other to be good like xtians do.
WHO'S posing again???
You better believe I'm gonna burn when I'm dead. I specifically asked to be burned. It's cheaper and easier than burial. (except my wife says she MAY have part of me stuffed....She hasn't quite made up her mind yet.
What the heck. I ain't gonna feel a thing. I was dead for billions of years before I was born and I was not fazed a bit. I imagine death will be no different.
As real as it gets.
