Quote: Every atheist that has talked about death on this forum has expressed they wouldn't want to live forever, ever wonder why, living in misery is something no one looks forward to.Ever hear the story of the man who was granted eternal life -but not- eternal youth or good health? Personally, I live in happiness, I'll likely die in happiness - with the minor caveat of whatever ravages time sees fit to enact upon me. However, if I had to watch my loved ones endlessly die, generation after generation - or if the food in my mouth turned to ash, as it were. If I never found surprise, never saw novelty...all of these things would have an adverse effect on my happiness. If I had to live forever in the presence of your cunt of a god - I'd long for death. All of this stuff has been discussed endlessly, in detail, from so many angles in so many of our greatest works of literature that had you ever chanced upon more than one book you might have some clue as to what we're talking about.
Living forever in "sin" -doesn't...even...apply- as a mitigating factor of my happiness or despair. My relative contentedness is measured by far less idiotic metrics.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
