[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the latest American fashion, nothing else. I will die out just like it did in most cultures that tried to instill it as the official state religion.

I grew up in a mostly atheist household, although my parents were not nearly as militant as some atheists on DCUM LOL I find atheism kind of pointless and very narrow-minded. It's a pitiful way to go through life.[b] I'd rather be happy (or at least at peace)[/b] than right.[/quote]

That sounds really sad, that you seem to not be able to have or even perceive happiness or peace without religion and/or God. I guess I just don't really understand that.

My family, my friends, community, the outdoors, hobbies, interests, and even experiences with other humans give me plenty of happiness, peace, and joy. I feel fulfilled, and feel like my life is full in this life. I don't need to concern myself with an "afterlife" - my happiness in the present is enough. That doesn't mean it's perfect, but I feel plenty of contentment and purpose, as is, right now.  [/quote]
I am happy for you. Enjoy feeling superior to me. I guess it is one way to feel content :roll: [/quote]

Huh? Where are you getting "superior" from? That sounds like insecurity speaking. I very genuinely wish you peace and happiness in your life, as is, right now.[/quote]

You are not the first on to assume that faith is for the weak. Strong successful people don't need its solace. Well, you are wrong. That's as much as I care to say.[/quote]

Wrong? Where am I making strong claims about right/wrong?

Everybody needs solace, including "strong successful people" (whatever that means). The source is different. For me, the source is the present. I find value in things here, in my life, however small, all the time. It does sound extremely sad that people can't find value in the present. It has nothing to do with superiority, and I'm not sure what kind of insecurity you seem to be projecting.  You do sound kind of sad and discontent. [/quote]
OK. Whatever :roll: [/quote]
