This is an Atheist thread so I dont mind posting my opinion,you will notice I leave religion out of most of my posts on other topics because if you need a god then thats fine with me,I will not even ask you about it but here is where we find out what is this god everyone thinks is going to save them.

I'm an atheist,if there was a god he would have stopped the bloodshed amongst religious peeps a long time ago.

we all have opinions, we are human, yes those were and are my opinions, and others
have theirs, that is the nature of 'us'.

that is why I am an atheist because I think along those lines, I don't apologize
for that, I have not made my choice lightly, I thought hard and long, many
years ago, and we all have our opinions about 'the other side', we have to,
or else we wouldn't understand who we are, or you, who you are, just the way
it is, but I respect and accept the believers, and have said that 'if' believers
are happy in their position, then that is what they should be, as finding our
balance and happiness is what it is all about isn't it!!!!


bullshyte.... more lies, I've posted EXACTLY what you think of "believers"... and now you start back pedaling.

God is not a big white-haired Dude in the sky.

God is God.

You can't prove He exists. You can't prove he doesn't.

Clearly, belief is a choice. You believe on the strength of your own free will - whatever you believe.

I choose to believe God exists.

I reject most dogma and trappings of 'religion'.

Well if the bible is correct and the first 2 peeps on the earth were Adam and Eve then we are all related.
Explain that Ger!

that was in regards to 'religion' more than just 'believing', as I have very strong objections to people
following rules and guilt fed instructions to make them follow in a fearful way, and I feel sorry and
feel that people who don't think for themselves are weak, and don't ever learn their own mind, as they
have been raised to obey religious rules, which I think 'mostly are harmful to the individual becoming
strong in their own right.
I was raised also to follow religious rules, (catholic,for many years), but at about 12 yrs of age,
I stepped back, and continued to step back, it was just what I had to do, so I could give myself
breathing room, to begin thinking and making my own decision about any god, and I am happy I did
that, and no one stood in my way, I was allowed to search as an individual, thanks to my open minded
and wonderful mother.
If I offended you or anyone else, it isn't much different than the many times I have been trashed
for being honest in my non belief of any gods at all, I am still alive and well, so I guess those
who don't like what I say, should be strong enough to handle it as well.
I'm off to watch hockey now.

I certainly agree that being a follower, is the first sign of some weakness, and is a person who
doesn't realize his/her own intelliglence, and is either too lazy or unsure of themselves to find
their own way, without the guidance of others.
that includes all of the above, including scriptures and all gods. we have so much between our ears,
and don't need to be led blindly around obeying rules that want to hit us right in the guilt area, and
keep us there for our lifetimes, latched onto some fairy tale, much like the invisible friend
my grandaughter had when she was a little child, but as soon as she reached a certain age (5), she
deleted that little friend from her imagination, on her own, without the interference of others.
most of us also have the ability to help the helpless, and lead the blind, and deal with those who
choose to hurt others.
one who is strong on their own, and can look into the life of the blind followers, whatever they might
be following, and can also love and enjoy them for who they are, are truly blessed, they do not have
to lead their lives while obeying anything other than 'good human rules' which help us to look after
each other.
there is no such thing as a sinner, we are human, with all of the traits of human behavior, when one
changes that word to what it really is, mistakes, and realize we can deal with any mistakes ourselves,
with the help of ourselves, and all work together to help each other become better people.
I am an example of a person who is god free, completely, and my life has, and is going along nicely.
Why would I ever want to begin looking out into the universe, or whatever one has to look into to find
-----what, everything I need is right here, is inside of me, is part of me.
I do remember as a child, worrying if I said a swear word, that god was watching me, and I am bad, and
couldn't wait to get to confession the next sunday to be forgiven, very silly indeed.
I had a wonderful mother, she forgave me when I misbehaved, and also taught me how to be a better little
girl, moving forward, nothing can replace that, and she never ever told me to believe in god, or not,
that was my choice.
I was in catholic school because of my dad, who only put me in that school because his parents put him
in catholic school.
T - Me I think you are full of shxt. Always trying to post what will go over well to make yourself look reasonable and open minded = Bull Fnn Shxt?

Yeah, even I'm kind of skeptical when it comes to that part about Jonah, being in the whale for 3 days and 3 nights. (As far as Jonah was concerned I think it would be just one loooooooooooong night) :lol:
