I wanted to be a National Geographic photographer when I was younger... This just brings all that back!

@MaxSafeheaD i don't mind religious people even my parents are muslims... but i just don't like to tolerate it when they say that their god is for real and science cannot explain everything. the holy books are to be used like rule books for life. Of course ther's good stuff in there like don't lie and don't consume alcohol, but that doesn't mean you do the rest of the retarded unrequired stuff like killing female newborns and circumcision. at least don't say there was a talking snake nd unicorns

No worries, I'm often the same.

It's embarrassing some of the things I've typed then looked at previous comments and thought ... actually, I'm being a dick!

I totally agree with your other beliefs too although I don't like to think too much past the death question because I allways end up with an incredibly bleek nihilism ... which for someone with a record of cronic depression is not much fun! =P

It helps to remember how simple my brain is compared with these questions.

Maybe using the term "idiot" was going over-board for me. I get hot-headed when this topic comes up because everyone walks in on high chairs acting like they know everything. If your question is if it is possible to be mentally stable, healthy, and morally good with out faith then the answer is yes. I am an Atheist and I live my life with honor and integrity. I respect all life and enjoy being here for the short time that I am. I am strong enough to accept death.

@LambdaQuarks

ok, fair enough.

but

If having faith gives you a phychological lift, why is that idiotic?

It would be better to have similar mental toughness without faith but is it possible?

It is a very dangerous tool, but we are only alive for a certan amount of time.

For example I don't share Daniel Illabacas or Chase Armiages faith, but it's very hard to argue it hasn't given them and those around them pure joy.

It's not possible to enjoy being Nihilist, so why should I criticise them?

[LambdaQuarks]

@MaxSafeheaD

I said if you prefer. I couldn't care less what you are so don't get to excited. I can't substantiate? The claim isn't that there is no god..the claim is that there is one and no one in centuries has been able to provide proof. You can't claim something and say it is true simply because there is no counter evidence to it. There are Ninjas in other galaxies, you can't really prove that this ISN'T true either right? until we go there.

[MaxSafeheaD]

@LambdaQuarks

The only obvious idiot here is one who makes claims he cannot possibly substantiate, like "the truth is that there is no god."

Further idiocy is indicated by the assmption that I an a theist - which I am not.

I bet you'd still you like to dig your hole deeper though?

Go on ...
