Very admirable Beccs. I suppose you already know how dangerous that place is.
Personally I'd rather you stayed someplace safe. :-)

But .. but .. you are an atheist! How can you possibly put yourself in harm's way to benefit the less fortunate without the hope of an eternal reward? This goes against everything so many theists believe about those not afflicted with their strange beliefs.

Be careful over there. I'm going to suggest you wear a surgical burka and space helmet at all times. Remember you have a mind and a skill set to safe guard. Oh and one hell of a smoking hot body.

Kudos to you. And don't forget to bring us back cool souvenirs, like "I conquered The Ebola" mugs, keychains, and t-shirts.

I think you meant to say no need to hurry back, either. Big Grin
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I want to make this thread binding in that if you say you're leaving for x time, you better fucking do it. Getting my hopes up is a bannable offense, IMO.

* Violet sighs.

Really guys...? Whatever. See you whenever you get back to us, Alpha John Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Well do try to represent. Remember, you may be a creatard but you do hang out on an atheist site. Something has got to have rubbed off on you.


Yeah? Do intelligence rub off on the amebas raised in the best science labs?
