Same question to you then.

Religion is false hope. It provides nothing except disappointment in relation to reality.

[Excited Penguin]

Why am I burden because of the stuff I post?

Certainly not because you are exited.  I don't see that.

Rather, I see an individual in need of attention, and so he seeks it through this type of posting.

I'm not interested in talking about me as a person. If enough people are, certainly, let's do that. Otherwise, please try and rephrase your problem with me in such a way that we can talk about it from an impersonal perspective.

 Perhaps invite us to talk about dishonest tactics of conversation or problematic behaviours(and why)?

It provides you nothing but disappointment. It makes a lot of people feel safe and happy, why would you get to define someone else's happiness as false. That's what seems unfair to me.

Perhaps the penguin has a false sense of psychology mixed in with his false rationality?

I'm not interested in talking about me as a person. If enough people are, certainly, let's do that. Otherwise, please try and rephrase your problem with me in such a way that we can talk about it in a more general manner.

Ok a general mannered problem...I have a problem with people in general thinking they should get to dictate how other people phrase their problems.

why would you get to define someone else's happiness as false.

Because I am a human being who would never raise anyone under the false pretense of any stupidly humanly created concept, including Santa, etc.

How do we get rid of religion?

Serious question, why do you want to get rid of religion altogether? Do you get some sort of joy out of taking away things that make people happy? Do you also take candy from children?

You take yourself far too seriously EP.

And people are allowed to disagree with you you know, it's not a personal attack if people do.

Or would you rather surround yourself with a bunch of Yes Men?

Some people are adults and do not wish to be raised by you at all. I think wearing a lot of make up and fancy clothes gives people a false sense of beauty when in reality they should find a why to be happy with the way they truly look. But I don't want to get rid of make up altogether or go out into the world urging people not to use make up. I point it out when I see this fake version of beauty becoming harmful, but otherwise I let people live their own lives.

EP. I have posted a serious response to your thread and you have ignored it. If you make a thread, why are all your responses just bitching about the non serious posts. I would like it if you addressed my question please. I'd be glad to quote it if you can't find it.
