It sounded rhetorical so I really don't know what kind of response you wanted. I agree? That sort of goes without saying since presumably we are all atheists here. It was well written? Yes it was. What do you want?

As for my beliefs, I find it hard to fathom that this one planet contained in a universe so large that we can't concieve or even see the ends of it, is the absolute center for some moral playground where we try to gain the grace of an entity which purportedly made us and already loves us, with a handy structured set of expected actions already printed out, that has I'm quite sure an authentic claim of authorship. If you do these things this way, say these things that way, then you've got it made, you're "saved"? And that's what I'm expected to believe, that there is no other purpose for my life and my choices. who expects you to believe such? and why would you care? |

I was referring to the religions under the Judeo-Christian umbrella i.e. Christianity, Catholic,Baptist, Islam, Muslim....on and on. Why would I care???? I thought this was a platform to express ideas and to share opinions with others?? I'm sure there are other salient points I could toss in here about why I care, but I'll be like a religion and 'keep it a mystery' |
