Let's Start Over, I'm Blackrook and I'm Here to Get Some Answers to Important Questions

RE: Let's Start Over, I'm Blackrook and I'm Here to Get Some Answers to Important Questions
I disagree on the statements that atheism has nothing to offer. Atheism offers freedom. Freedom from trying to please a non-existent entity. Freedom to live your life for you and your family. Freedom to share and enjoy this unique experience.

The main problem most converts have (in my experience), is the fear that they may be wrong in defying god. So try this on for size. If there is no god, you have nothing to lose, if there is a god, do you truly believe that an entity so powerful could possibly stoop to the petty ambitions and ideals of a mere mortal? Could a being this powerful have any interest at all in condemning you to eternal bliss or torture? if you live a good life, you have nothing to fear. if you lead a bad life, the man will get you long before any god.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
