I love it!
Feeble-minded nonsense. It assumes eternal life is something to be desired, and assumes that an end to one's suffering alone is not enough.
And don't forget the Christian missionaries who come later to remind the heathens that all of their dead loved ones are going to burn in hell eternally for not accepting Jesus as their savior.
Feeble-minded nonsense. It assumes a meaningless life of non-existence is something to be desired, and assumes that death, as an end to one's suffering, is enough.
And don't forget the ex-atheists who inevitably undergo a a change of heart as a consequence of war related trauma, accepting Jesus as their savior.
That's how I intended to do it. Basicly 2 saying/statements that are not really connected are put together in a contradictory/ catch 22 way. The solution comes from the fact that only your mind connects them, but not the statements/facts themselves...
Who says a godless life is a meaningless life? I, and some of my friends, would beg to differ.
Yes, those are no doubt your favorite kind of converts. The ones who require an event so traumatic that they are no longer the person they were prior to the event to submit to brain-number bullshit that is Christianity.
People find non-existence attractive?
No more mind numbing than your "fire and brimstone preaching being the high end of theistic claims" crap
:shrug:
That doesn't answer my question. I asked you, "who says a godless life is meaningless?"
And how did you feel about non-existence before you were born?
I don't recall ever calling fire-and-brimstone preaching the "high end of theistic claims."
I'm not sure.
If you want to ask "Who said a non-existent life is meaningless" I might be able to provide you with an answer however ...
The same way as I feel about it now ... although its kind of funny for a staunch atheist to allude to an existence that their ideology prohibits from holding tenable ....
Then I guess you are simply attracted to criticizing the weakest form of an argument
:shrug:
Oh, I see now. I misread your initial post. My fault.
Okay, but now I have to ask, what the hell is a non-existent life?
In what way did I do that? You did not exist before you were born, and I said as much. It was a rhetorical question.
Your entire argument is a weakness. :shrug:
:shrug:
meaningless .. much like a square circle or a married bachelor
by posing the question in a past tense -
And how did you feel about non-existence before you were born?
Since feeling about an issue precludes existence, its an oxymoronic question from the atheist perspective
Due to a poor choice in words in framing your arguments in response to arguments you are not even comprehending correctly in the first place, you are having an extremely difficult time establishing that ...
Reality doesn't really care about what we desire. It is what it is.
Not sure how that is related to what is being discussed
Yep, the conquistadors have christened the Native Americans.
That is why they are so happy.
For one, surely you realize that whether or not one's life is going to be eternal, is not something within one's control, and thus, not something one could meaningfully desire, or not desire.
For two, there is nothing wrong with eternal life. No rotting molars, nor rotting morals.
As if death would be an end to suffering.
Fortunately, not everyone shares your morbid obsession with mainstream Christianity!
