Atheism and the meaning of life - what drives you?

[brewer]

Then SB's effort was poor and he made some assumptions and assertions that he should not have. I have little issue with the psychology, I have an issue with the presentation. Unaware of drives does not equal negative consequences. Yet I needed to be warned? I need therapy to understand? By not considering the mind the same as SB I'm in peril?

Fuck off SB.

I no assumptions about anything.  You just have an over active imagination and apparently are easily offended when no offense was remotely intended.  I made no unnecessary assertions, nor did I even comment anything that's not already pretty much well known.  You could educate yourself if you wish to be better informed on the subject.

My "warning" was merely a statement to explain that we, as humans, are usually resistant to knowledge that we disagree with, particularly when it could help us in life.  Clearly I hit a nerve with you or you wouldn't be reacting with such emotion.  I don't believe insulting me is in any way called for since I explained that I meant no such insult and was stating only commonly understood knowledge.  But you can be pissed off all you like; it isn't doing me nearly as much harm as it is you.  And btw, you are making my point by engaging in this sort of flame war.

Educate myself? I'll put my psych education and years of practice up against yours any day. FUCK OFF!

Don't have the ability to apologize, do have the ability to dodge. Good for you.

So, again, fuck off.
