Purpose without Religion
#17
RE: Purpose without Religion
hehe lol!

In all seriousness I - perhaps, - only partly agree with your first line because it depends on the theist....some theists might think God allows them to be more free or 'gives them' freedom and they don't care so much for his 'rules' because they have a different interpretation...but yeah...a lot of theists, at least, kind of waste their life to some extent at least...

Some a lot more than others.

I think there's a bit of a continuum here: i.e some theists are less 'slaves' than others...and some perhaps have enough freedom to not really be slaving to their God. There is a degree of 'slaveness' I think - from total slave right up to totally free but they basically still have a silly false belief..how it effects others however; is perhaps another thing...

They could be pretty free themselves but effect the freedom of others by converting them to bullshit...

Perhaps a bit like how religious fundamentalists can come out of a religious moderate environment.

As for your second line...very nicely put!!! Nice contrast too hehe Big Grin
