[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you die, you just die.  There's nothig afterwards.  You don't get rewards for being good or punishment for being bad.  Why do you all need to cling to an imagined afterlife to make your lives on earth meaningful?  You all sound so sad.[/quote]

Many people were taught to believe these things as children, and in many ways, our majority Christian society supports these beliefs, so it can be hard to look at them with adult eyes.[/quote]

How above it all you are with your adult ways.  :roll: [/quote]

Sorry but people who believe in heaven and hell sound incredibly childish away.  It's a step above believing in Santa and his list of who's naughty and nice.  Really, it's the same damn thing.  Probably it's a step below believing in Santa because at least people grow out of that.[/quote]

Aw, and we had such a nice break from this line of bigotry over the last week or so. [/quote]

pp is blunt, but there is nothing bigoted about these remarks[/quote]

BIGOT: def.  a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)[/quote]

Emphasis on unfairly.  Reasons seem fair to me.  Also I don't hate anyone or even necessarily dislike them.  I think they are childish.  You don't appear to like me particularly but that doesn't make you a bigot either.

But hey if it makes you feel better to think everyone who disagrees with you is a bigot, knock yourself out.[/quote]

Of course the reasons seem fair to you. I thought atheists were supposed to appreciate others in a way that we religious people can't, or won't. Let me guess, there are some acceptable differences to embrace (dress, food, secular cultural traditions, skin color) and then there's religion.

"Humanists" often reveal themselves as more judgmental and dismissive than most believers. [/quote]
