[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Me too op. Super religious upbringing here. I totally get why people believe etc. Try as I might, I just do not feel it. It's made me more able to live in the moment. You really value life when you think this is it![/quote]

It's not supposed to be something you "feel." And no one values life more than one who believes he was created by God for a purpose.[/quote]

What about those people whose purpose seems to die of a dread disease at a young age?  Or those whose purpose is to be born into a life of abject poverty?  [b]How much do they value life[/b]?[/quote]

It depends. How well do they know God?[/quote]

nice display of Christian empathy[/quote]

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean, but I think this is a logical question. If PP is asking how much someone who is dying at a young age values life, I don't think you can answer that across the board. It does depend on whether or not they know God.[/quote]

So how much you value life depends upon how much you know God?

An atheist can't value life?  [/quote]

An atheist cannot experience life to the fullest, for which s/he was created, no. Value life, sure. But truly live it in all glory and freedom, no.[/quote]

You may have been taught this, but you have no way of knowing it - or of knowing that type of thing about anyone.

That's what you religion teaches, apparently, but it does not reflect the experience of many atheists who feel freer and happier about life once they leave religious beliefs behind.[/quote]
