LOL. You do know that the only real difference between you and I, is that I choose to be on the good side?

Alas my friend, I can't comment; as I don't believe in such archaic terms as 'bad, or 'good'. Nor do I believe in 'sides'.

I do however, believe in Okham's Razor. Something you should look into.

...god made the universe.... lol

wicked man.. wicked.
 
Praying mantis are usually holding their hands together, in a praying pose. That is why they have that name.
The one in my t-shirt has its arms crossed.
I did miss the pose, nice touch that one. But still, the insect seems human level sentient, so some irony remains.
I thought it was pretty obvious.
Maybe you were more distracted than you thought you were.
Could be, I was attacked by a mantis while breast-feeding as an infant.
 
I could swear that is a praying mantis crossing it's hands. See, where the abdomen is, it has somethings that look like wings on its back.

Beliefs aside, I am talking about our objective destination.

See now those aren't the wild assertions in his post. The wild one is that the only real difference is around this belief issue. That otherwise you two are interchangeable.

Think if he's right?

If he's right, and there is such a thing as a 'good side', and a 'bad side', then it becomes apparent that we live in a universe designed by a child, in which case, I'd be more than happy to be 'the bad guy'...

:)

Suffer the little children...

Oh, God can look past a little cognitive resistance. You can't go by Dante's idea that people like Glaucon, good 'pagans' will end up in the mildest portion of Hell. God must get bored of all the sychophants. What better way to spice up a Saturday breakfast than to argue with someone who says there is not good reason to assume you exist. I see them getting along famously.

I fail to see how a sentient mantis as a symbol for atheism is ironic.
However, I don't think there was any point to making it sentient. They just drew it like that because it looks cute. Or maybe the expression is required to make it look like it made the choice not to pray.

lololol, attacked, you say...

Explain "objective destination".

As I have problems with both of these terms alone, to say nothing of them being conjoined...
 
There is no such thing as good side.

LOL, no no no you got it all mixed up. There is only good and bad. Everything else is just personal belief. Personal belief does not seperate you from anyone. Good and bad is the beginning and the end of a human, in body/mind.
 

Very well then, let's say you use that term then instead...

What then, does any of this have to do with our death?

We both shall die, and that's it... so what?
Death is has no bearing on aesthetics.

hmm?

This is well outside of the scope of this thread. But I'm going to go ahead and say that I disagree 100% and think that you are out of your mind.

Everything else is just personal belief. Personal belief does not seperate you from anyone.

Actually, everything IS just personal belief. Nothing wrong with that. Why should it "seperate" you?

Good and bad is the beginning and the end of a human, in body/mind.

You can say that if you want. Yet, good and bad are entirely subjective.

You can disagree all you want. Your 'intentions' brought you to be who you are today. Your intentions have either been good or bad. Intention is the core of the human. It is what drives the body and everything else, inorder to confirm their ability as a human.

It's not my intentions of being right that I'm considering. It's what I perceive as good.

If I kill you and eat you, is that a bad thing?
