Re: Why I (as an atheist) can be "turned off" or offended by people of Faith
Several pages of discussion between believers of a higher power, and non believers, with a mix of “agnostic” who are riding the fence.
In the end there is only one thing for certain in life, and that is we will all die. The old saying the only two things certain is death and taxes is false, because I know several people that have never paid a dime(even sales tax because they’ve lived on the dole), but they most certainly will die!
Every one of us will eventually reach that point and it will be “game over” or we will either be blissfully happy or remorsefully regretful... depending on what is true or not. I prefer myself to believe in the Bible and believe in God and try to live as close to the teachings of the Bible as I can (and I am totally against all the “better than you” so called Christians running around pointing fingers....they ignore many parts of the Bible, and only quote the convenient parts that suit them) when I die if it is a laughable fallacy (as atheist think it is), then all I am out is that I led a good honest life that treated others like I expect to be treated. So I don’t see the down side of living life according to the Bible because if you get past the interpretations by charlatans, and read and study it yourself, it basically just tells you to lead what is considered by our current laws as a good honest life where you do the right thing, and help others do the same. We won’t ever know the truth until we take that last breath, but for me personally, a parent who buried a 9 year old daughter, I prefer to be optimistic that there is something more past this earth, however ridiculous anyone thinks I am.
