I can believe there isn't any argument you'd accept, other than the "might makes right" of threatened hell and other punishments.

Nothing more.

The only other related belief I have is that religion has no place in our government or public schools. Do what you want in your home and place of worship. Keep it out of the greater society.

But that's not a belief exclusive to Atheists. I'm not atheist but I probably feel as strongly about the topic above as you do.

Might makes right has often been used in the name of religion. The Crusades? The Conquistadores? ISIS? If anything, the idea that everyone has rights that deserve to be protected is one that's come to forefront during in some of the most secular societies the world has ever seen, in the West during the 20th and 21st century.

I don't like how you think. I think much better of people.

A thinking person would understand that this statement is intended to misrepresent atheists while presenting anyone who disagrees as not being a thinking person.

Hell isn’t a punishment. It’s having to live with yourself and all you want for all eternity. If you want to live an existence without God, then you can’t go to heaven. Not because you aren’t loved or wanted, but because you won’t go even if someone invites and pleads with you to go.

Depends what you consider an argument of consequence.

A "thinking person" must be able to understand hat there is more than reason for morality.

Oh. I see.

Except...... Athiests don't believe that. But that's been said already. We could go in circles about it but there's no point.

I believe that this makes sense to you.

DP.

I guess that's what it is. This is the only thing that makes sense to PP. Anything else just can't be grasped.

Where's THAT in the bible? or the catechism, or the written teachings of any Christian religion?

Answer: Nowhere, it's something that pp or a nice clergy person made up to make people feel better about their good friends or beloved family members who are going to hell (or are already there) because they don't have the proper beliefs.

They are not burning for eternity, they are simply living without god. whew.

Look. I get that you don’t, can’t, and won’t believe. It doesn’t matter. You are still invited. Even if you are skeptical, even if you disagree, even if you are better than the rest of us sinners, even if you are worse. You are still invited.

Also, I don’t read the Bible. I am catholic

I really don’t understand why you are so worried about Hell if you feel certain that life ends when you die.
