@6gunwalker I would not say any group of humans are better than any other for obvious reasons. But to see the world as you want to see it does not work in a scientific context. Nature does not care what we want to believe, it's allready there. All we can do is try and understand it, even if it leads us to an inconvenient truth.

I think a crash victim would be better off trying to face the reality of the situation instead of praying every day and night for the rest of his/her life.

@bandrason We enjoy life just as much as you do, the only difference is we do not reject God and have eternal salvation

@SigDrums people suffer inconvinient truths every day yet they still BELIEVE otherwise.. does it merit atheists as intelligent and better off?? if doctors say to people that they are unable to have babies do you think they would take your comments serious? if a crash victim was told by the doctor that he/she was not going to walk anymore are they going to have the atheist attitude to accept "inconvinient truths?".. sesh the stupidity of some people!

@6gunwalker Atheists are willing to accept inconvenient truths. To do otherwise is childish and unintelligent.

I live because I want to have experiences which help making me a better person. When doing mistakes and repeating them many times we eventually learn.

I just laugh at you losers spending your whole life believing you're going to heaven by dedicating your time on this planet to god. Haha if you think that's enjoying life, you're totally misunderstanding!

i live because i believe in god and worship him so i can die and go to heaven

In near future :

We will live and never die.

We will discover each others real worth.

We will fight to defend.

We will never work and never retire.

But only those most able to adapt to change will make it into the future, and only those who are valued by others.
