Attn: Theists - What would it take to prove you wrong?

That is great! And I appreciate it.

But ultimately, speaking atheistically, the Christian is no better or worse off than the atheist because they both die and are no more and while they live, they both determine what is meaningful to them because they are the ones that determine what is meaningful.

One finds meaning in life by living according to ©, and another finds meaning in life according to (A).

Both © and (A) are simply preferences or opinions of homo sapiens who are what they are because nature determined they should be that way by giving them a certain physiology. The Christian and the atheist are fundamentally the same. There might be an ever so slight variation somewhere in their brain or cerebral cortex which causes them to be more prone to believing in God than the atheist, but they both are simply a collocation of atoms arranged homo sapien wise.

They live for a moment and then die, to be replaced by others that come after them who too will die in a cycle until the world itself ceases to exist.

Except that bigotry wrapped in flowery language is still bigotry.

I understand that you think I am a bigot. And believe me, I want you to know that you are entitled to believe that. Many may feel the same way. Many may agree with you.

Many will disagree with you.

But looking at it from where I sit and assuming for the moment no God exists to judge us or hold us ultimately accountable for our actions, and since we ourselves determine what is meaningful, the bigot may find meaning in life by being a bigot, while you on the other hand find meaning in life by being kind and understanding.

Both you and the bigot, however, are simply dancing to your DNA. The tune is played and we act. No one is either above us or beneath us. No one ultimately better or worse off than we.
