You're not so Godless.

The illusion of a "Godless" journey through life is so fragile in its core, that is; cracks can appear so easily with the slightest thought or behavior analysis.
Every bit of human body, the word "human" itself, is nothing more but a group of functions existing to serve: thus we, are nothing but the same biological organism  that is surviving -ironically- via self inflicted services, which are given to the body since birth.

We cannot even comprehend the idea of independence: everything to us -by default- is defined with the same image -that is us-: a client being served; a cause and effect. 
If worship is -in its core- a service, then how is an atheist considered to be a "Godless" human being?

Isn't it more accurate to describe the person's God, as him/herself, his/her nation, his/her government?
If somebody spent all of their lives "worshiping" themselves and claiming to be "atheists", wouldn't that tell us that there are no true atheists?

Consider whatever holy, and spend them years building it up obsessively; and here you go: that's your God. 

Humans are made to worship. Made to serve. 
Atheism might be defined more accurately with it being the lack of belief in a certain "God(s)", but not all Gods. Every person has a God after all. Nobody is Godless.

Ray Comfort? Holy shit man, are you ever going to unban me from your Facebook?

Atlas, are we going to get anything out of you that isn't merely proselytising and wanking off your pet god?

I'm only advicing a world that I see grim, dark and full of holes.
I'm not happy with life, it's short, it's grim, and painful in many cases. My God brings me a peace of mind that I want others to know.

He made me understand this pain, and made me look at life from a very different prespective.
What you criticize me for doing, will be something you wish if you have payed attention to. Let's see the truth of that soon.

We are not the first generation to walk this earth..

I'm sorry your life is so bad, Mine is great. I have wonderful friends, I'm intellectually fulfilled, my girlfriend is amazing, I have the satisfaction of knowing I help people, my work is slack enough that I have time to post on this forum while I'm there, and I was lucky enough to be born in a developed country. Sure, my father is a Pentecostal who can't stop preaching whenever I'm in earshot, I have diabetes, heart disease, and 3rd Stage Kidney disease; my girlfriend has an incurable degenerative disease, and someone I've worked closely with for several years died unexpectedly at the age of 31 last week...but we can't have everything, can we?

There's lots of ways to be happy in the face of adversity. You didn't happen to stumble on the only comfort in life.

And thanks for the amazing newsflash that there have been generations before us, I'm sure we'll all need days to recover from the shock of that revelation.

I'm going to make a sweeping argument here: You know nothing about genetics. Apes are animals that have struggled to survive since the beginning of time. Gender, for instance, and marriage (or togetherness) go hand in hand. You evidently sleep with those closest to you, thereby keeping your genes intact. It not only states it this specifically I'd guess, in the bible, however, it also states that every relationship has been kept together since the beginning of time. If I would haphazard a guess, you will believe (of your own sweet free will) that this is nonsensical, and that Adam and Eve never existed. Another one up on evolution, for sure! Nevertheless, I would like to haphazard you another guess,... where else did we come from? Is it not better to forgive, and forget, those who miss your sincerity?

There was absolutely nothing in this post that supported your contention that ignoramus knows nothing about genetics. What followed wasn't even an argument. More like stream-of-consciousness rambling.

I believe thanks to God it stands as a fact that only humans have. We are the only creatures capable of reason after all.

Just SO WRONG!

Isn't this just wonderful?  I'm amazed more people haven't seen it, yet.

A similar one was done with Octopus...with similar results.

They are also very intelligent creatures.

Tool-using, logic, problem-solving.

We are hardly alone in exhibiting these characteristics.

And apparently it shut JBrentonK down on this thread. Hard to argue against evidence.

JKBrentons back.



Damn.

[drfuzzy]

JKBrentons back.



Damn.

Yep. Dropped in, posted some more incomprehensible ramblings, and ran away.  Probably off his meds again, or got a REALLY bad batch of whatever soup of bad drugs he takes.  Likely both at the same time.

Give it time, I'm sure he'll have some irrationalization.
