Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.

[Zen Badger]

to answer your question amkerman, i have heard of no purpose for life for an athiest besides following by humanistic values. many claim scientific progress is the best goal but what about those who aren't interested in science? they have no purpose because they can't be a scientist? many say benifiting society but for those who only flip burgers they obviously don't do much for society (even though someone has to do it). the truth of the matter is without religion, there is no purpose above society. there is no authority above humans. as long as you don't harm others, you can do whatever you want. the only thing you have to worry about other than the law is your health. this is the thing that athiests want to be the truth. there is no god, no divine punishment, no karma; just human and health consequences.

There, fixed it for you chippy

You have yet to explain the meaning that you think having a god/s gives your life.

no, people do follow rules for more than just that reason. they follow them because: they were taught to, they don't want to do harm to others, and they have a conscious ect. however, there are no consequences for their actions above human and health consequences. if they don't get caught, and they don't compromise their health, they don't have any consequence.

You're confusing us with christianity chippers.

In fact it's your theology that teaches that there are no consequences to your actions, that regardless of the crimes you commit you can get off scot free just by accepting jesus.

Bang you're in. Doesn't matter if you're a mass murderer.

Just become one of jesus's fanboys and you are eligible for heaven.
