Atheists don't need a promise of reward to believe... they believe because it's true
Such a pitiful life to lead!
I don't know how you can say that. It is better for you to be deceived by lies, or semi-truths from people who have no more insight about religion than you have?
It is far better to not expect that there is anything waiting for us in the afterlife. Live your life to the fullest and be good man because that is a reward by itself.
Don't act nice and moral because you are promised that there will be reward waiting for you in heaven/paradise. That is epitome of hypocrisy for me.
...If an atheist doesn't understand the proof in the links, and if he can't see nature for some reason,
the least he should do is be honest with himself and say that he is agnostic - that he doesn't know for sure. Since he isn't honest, he truly has a religion going for himself... and a religion of lies, without any hope.
For someone who pushes his opinion on everyone 100 times a day... one would think you'd understand the difference between simple words
Atheist and Agnostic are not mutually exclusive as they answer different questions...
Gnosticism deals with
knowledge... what you
know is true... everyone is agnostic (unless they are a fool or liar)
Theism deals with
belief... what you
believe is true... this is a personal choice (for some are able to believe things which are not true)...
Personally, I cannot intentionally believe things which are not true, so I am an atheist
I'm sorry. I mean, I hadn't realized that you were among those who don't understand what they read.
The point wasn't a comparison of atheism and agnosticism. The point was that atheists are either very ignorant about their atheism and like it that way, or they are liars... and probably both.
Again, why are atheists liars? Because they know that they don't have enough knowledge about the workings of the universe to know that God doesn't exist. This makes them to be liars when they adamantly proclaim that God doesn't exist, knowing that they don't know that what they proclaim is the truth.
If the atheist admitted that he doesn't know for sure that God doesn't exist - because he doesn't know enough about the universe to be sure God doesn't exist somehow somewhere - then he would be neither liar nor atheist.
Since you respond to my posts on occasion, you admit that you take willing, active part in looking at my posts. The same with everyone else who looks at my posts. If they don't want to look, all they have to do is look elsewhere when they see my handle... and place me on "ignore" so they don't even see my posts directly.
Because of all this, you prove yourself to be a deceptive liar, who loves to twist things around to make your lies look like they are true.
