still don't get it

Atheists value human life - what CAN be done in this lifetime, for example.

[b]But b/c Christians are all for the afterlife and believing that your soul will float to the heavens, the life of atheists - in their eyes - is not valued.  [/b]

Value people for who they are - while they're alive . . . b/c while your faith may be strong, it isn't necessarily the truth.[/quote]

Not true. I'm Christian and I have never thought the lives of atheists have no value. And I wouldn't say that[b] atheists across the board value human life and what can be done in this lifetime.[/b] Those are not facts.[/quote]

Those are pretty much facts, which apply to believers as well and any human not suffering from mental illness.  The difference is that believers value life after death too and some value it more than this life -- seeing it  as eternal good times - and for Christans, it's the reward for accepting Jesus as your savior.[/quote]

[b]You are still working off of your own stereotypes. T[/b]he Christian who self-centeredly plods his way through this life only caring about heaven and the self-aware atheist who celebrates his life and those around him to the fullest. Believers [b]and[/b] atheists cover the spectrum of self-absorption through valuing life and others. No group corners the market on behavior or attitude.[/quote]

Sorry, but those are YOUR stereotypes, expressed by you and not by pp -- no Christian self-centeredness or plodding was mentioned, except by you, and no Atheist self-awareness and celebrating was mentioned or implied. It just pointed out general differences and similarities between the broad groups of believers and atheists, and excluded the mentally ill of both groups.

Please reread without adding your own meaning and projecting it on others.[/quote]
