We have plenty to live for, we just have nothing to die for :))
Who was the last humanist suicide bomber you heard of?
uhhhh....there ain't none!
Religion is a method of mind control used primarily to shore up political power, whatever the believers might see from inside their own heads.
Seems like that is more likely to make your life miserable than not believing.

I don't understand how people can't believe. God is hope to me.
you said it yourself...god is hope to YOU, and it's ok, but some people don't need that hope, because they can find it in other places that have nothing to do with religion.
If it were valid, it would be the same world-wide. Like measuring gravity. If different people in different places construct the same instrument and measure gravity in the same place, they get the same reading, within very small margins of error.
But no two peoples anywhere have ever devised the same religion. It is a creation of man, not an aspect of the Universe.
It is a shame you imbue so much importance on such a flimsy concept, Lin. There is literally nothing there, and you make it mean everything. I don't understand how people can be that gullible. God is idiocy to me. It's just an old book that people got way too crazy over, and now people like you are the victims of that.

Just because you chose not to believe in God doesn't make you right. No one really knows for sure.
I know for sure there is no God, insofar as the word "sure" has any valid meaning. I'm as sure as one can possibly be in the COMPLETE ABSENCE of any evidence to the contrary.
There is no reason not to be absolutely sure. The second that changes, I'll let you know.

You can't know for sure
Why not? As I said, in the complete absence of evidence to the contrary, there is no reason not to know for sure. So I do.
YOU can't know for sure, Lin. As long as you think there's a magic fairy in the sky, you can never know that for sure. But I can.
When you really think about it how can you be sure it's true? For example, a few days ago I fractured my wrist. I heard all you have to do is ask in Jesus name to be healed and he'll do it. I tried. Nothing happened. Now I have to wear this dumb cast for six weeks.
I was watching some Romanian lady's YouTube recently. She is looking for answers about God. If you have them maybe you can help her.

Some people don't need delusions to be happy.

It's called faith.
Whatever you call it, it's gullibility and lunacy.
Faith= Belief without edvidence
Belief without edvidence =Delusion.
I do not believe any religion. but I am appreciate the nature for making water and the farmer who create the food for us to live.
not t all, we have a lot of things to live for, the reason of my life isn't a myth.
Well I suppose it can only by atheists / agnosts like me who can answer this then? While I go by the general filosophy (not shared by that many) that life has no meaning whatsoever and there is no purpose to life or the world in general, I do experience a lot of things and purpose to live for in my personal life. So the answer is most definately disagree to this question. I also think that feeling that you have something to live for is not related religion but a general creation of the human mind.
During life everyone will develop his/her opinion about life itself. Some people choose to be religious, others don't so there are different groups with different points of view and other things to life for. So it differs for religious and atheists but both do have something to life for.
I think you have it all wrong. Religious people are the one's who are most eager to get to the other side because they so want to get to heaven. Everybody else wants to stay alive as long as possible. 'Makes much more sense than the way you are reasoning.

[3 points] 170 days ago by deleted user ReplyThis is an important battle. People are being killed and suppressed in the name of one god or another, every day. Religion is a destructive force, promotes anti-intellectualism, and is a form of sanctioned mental illness. It's archaic and divisive and lethal, and it's time to get rid of it.
Agree - though I would prefer 'irrationality' to 'anti-intellectualism' because may so-called 'intellectuals', particularly of the french variety, are idiots.
