Got to admire her. She speaks intelligently and passionatly on her views. One doesnt need religion to be a moral person. I've met many Atheists who were far more moral than most Christians I've met.

A beautiful, talented, witty, humorous fellow rationalist.

What's interesting about this, is that she's actually talking about it at all. From everything I've read and heard about her, she wasn't prone to talking introspectively, especially about the afterlife. Spencer Tracy told Katharine Houghton that her aunt never liked to talk about the idea of what happened to you in the afterlife. Maybe it was something she thought more about after he died, possibly because he was so haunted by it.

She did practice what she believed. When Judy Garland was fired or suspended from MGM & she nicked her throat with a piece of glass & was bedridden, it was all over the newspapers. Only three people in Hollywood came to see her & Hepburn was one of them. She told Judy that she was one of the greatest Hollywood talents & that she was going to make it & to not let the studio get her down. No hypocrisy in this lady. She lived what she believed.

Kathy was one of the most famous commies in Hollywood.

I absolutely agree/adore/admire and adhere to everything she says! Katharine was amazing!

I think you cherish things much much more when you don't believe in the supernatural: we only know if this one life, so we better do with it the best that we can, because nothing else has been promised.

She was an atheist, but she believed and practiced what God is all about! It doesn't matter if people believe on a deity or not, as long as they live righteously is all that matters!

You were FIVE. That's not an experience, it's your imagination and a whole lot of time to develop false memories. 5-year-olds see monsters and have imaginary friends.

"youv'e already made up your mind I would have imagined it because you my friend are an atheist" Classic ad hominem. Not a mere insult, but an actual ad hominem argument.

"Atheist are always so uptight." Generalisation and what exactly do you mean. Uptight as in "angry" or uptight as in "rigidly conventional"?

[sweet161402]

@wimsweden Listen,this is sad not to mention insulting to this channel and the lady Katherine Hepburn.If I told you MY experience,NOT YOURS,youv'e already made up your mind I would have imagined it because you my friend are an atheist and there's nothing I can say to you to make you understand what I ALONE EXPERIENCED! Believe what you want,don't believe what you want.I don't care.Atheist are always so uptight.Yeah,I labeled it! You got it! See ya,wouldn't wanna be ya!

@sweet161402

My last question to you was about your personal experience, as you yourself admit in your reply. You were FIVE years old when you had an "experience"? Are you serious?

"Don't use me as your target for your frustation." There you go with the pseudo psycho-analysis again.

"I'll pray for you." And I'll think for you.

[sweet161402]

@sweet161402 I answered your question.your question was:"faith in what?" and "define 'faith'." I did.I had a Spiritual experience when I was five years old.It's too long to go into here.If you want to know something about God,spirituality etc. why don't you talk to someone?Don't use me as your target for your frustation.I'll pray for you that you find some PEACE.
