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.

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.

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.

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.

Agree - though I would prefer 'irrationality' to 'anti-intellectualism' because may so-called 'intellectuals', particularly of the french variety, are idiots.
