I offer this new thread to find out how it is we atheists can live with the risk of not falling to our knees and accepting Jesus into our hearts as lord and savior.
There have been well over 10,000 named gods in the past so far So - any religious person has rejected LOTS of them themselves - In fact - christianity is not a single religion or a single faith - there are now over 40,000 different versions of chirstianity accepted for tax purposes in the USA alone. The largest - Catholic church - as well as many others - state emphatically that the ONLY way to be saved is to belong to their religion - so even christians are taking that chance. I have to believe that living a good moral and honest life is what defines humans as thinking - and the idea that you must believe in any particular fairy tale is meaningless. I will live on after death - in the DNA i passed on to my kids and they to their kids. After all - if you actually go to an Xtian funeral - they say - ETERNAL rest grant unto them - certainly does not sound like life after death to me  RE: How big a risk are we atheists taking by not capitulating to Christian hegemony?

How does the Jew deal on a daily basis with their denial of the divinity of Jesus? They just do. In the same way that I as an atheist "cope" without god. I'd say 9 times out of 10, it doesn't even cross their minds, but point well taken.  RE: How big a risk are we atheists taking by not capitulating to Christian hegemony?

Dead is dead in my opinion and that's body, spirit and mind (if there separate)
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain  RE: How big a risk are we atheists taking by not capitulating to Christian hegemony?
