My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)

[The Grand Nudger]

 

I have never heard another person say what I said. Furthermore, I'd say the frame that believers are looking for a way to not believe isn't accurate. I'm not either.

Yet another commonality I've already commented on.  Each of you that makes it here imagines yourself to be the only one.  

If I am a hypocrite, I'd like to know why you think I am.

Then it;s a good thing you have my comments on the matter. 

You should probably drop the attitude or I am going to stop engaging with you.

You're saying that because I don't feel like defending my beliefs with empirical evidence that that means that I have no reason to believe them. That's why it's a belief and not a fact. finding purpose is an individual process and not something that needs defending.

Oh heaven forfend you stop talking to me.  We all decide who and what we respond to..and you have a handy ignore button at your disposal, as well.

I don;t recall saying anything of the sort, nor am I asking you to defend the fact that you;ve found purpose, and I;ve already commented on your "reasons".

I was commenting on how...as you yourself stated earlier..it doesn;t really matter to you whether or not your beliefs are accurate.  If you don;t require accurate beliefs in order to derive an acceptable purpose, there's likely no specific belief you;d require to derive that purpose.  You;re the one that keeps interjecting your divine purpose as an answer to questions it;s wholly irrelevant to.  If you want people to stop commenting on it, stop saying it, lol.

Personally, I also enjoy a sense of purpose in my life...but I couldn;t derive purpose from foundations I knew to be innaccurate. I don;t have any of those practiced faith defense mechanisms.
