beliving in god is a win win situation. if you belive in a god and go to church or some form of worship for an hour every sunday and there is a god you get in to heaven and win. if there isnt a god you lose and hour of every sunday which you would have wasted anyway but you dont realy lose anything. so why claim to be an atheist when there is a posibility that a god exists? |

"everything in life must come to an end, preferably in a humongous explosion"
There are many holes in our understanding of life, the universe, everything. I choose to let those holes remain - I feel comfortable with not knowing everything there is about everything. Others feel the need to fill those holes. |

Wow! You're absolutely right! From this day forward I will always stop and remove my left shoe every time someone says the word "systematically" just in case there is a panel of 500 tiger judges that will sentence me to 9,000,000,000 years of watching Survivor reruns if I don't. |

Because I have pride and refuse to pander to such a fickle God if he does exist, and if he doesn't, one hour of every sunday (given a 75 year life span) means spending 162 and a half days listening to some old fart spew self-congratulatory bullshit about how right we all are. |

"everything in life must come to an end, preferably in a humongous explosion"
You didn't really just say that, did you? |

Right, that's why I'm not claiming to know either way. |

im not even going to bother arguing with you beacause its just a waste of time. i know what you will try to do, in fact this guy defined it quite well http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=51246 |

"everything in life must come to an end, preferably in a humongous explosion"
I follow all of those same principles and morals. I do not need to believe in an invisible sky daddy to do so. Believing in something that cannot be proven in tangible reality is a waste of my time and I am quite comfortable not having all of the answers of life and the universe. |
|
Do you honestly think you can just "decide to believe in god?" That's not belief at all. |

Believing in god who hates you unless you follow his every rule wouldn't hurt you? How on earth could you find belief in someone like that comforting? |

I'm yet unaware as to the status of your footwear. |

i came up with the "most religious folks are happier than atheists" from my general experience in life. i have both atheist and religious friends, and most of the time those religious friends are the ones who seem to be quite happy with what they have, rather than always searching for something more. |

Mes Tarrant, that statement alone you made shows indication that you possess maybe not much, but a little belief in GOD. |
|
Always searching for something more is what drives scientific discovery, man. |
