Solarwave, I've just spotted this quote at the end of your replies....
“Humanism or atheism is a wonderful philosophy of life as long as you are big, strong, and between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five”
Let me tell you that from personal experience over many years that your line is nonesense.
As an Atheist who is not big (barely 10 stone), nor very strong and is well, well, well past your
age limits, I still find Atheism as attractive to me now as it ever was.
As I approach my end now I know that if I am wrong in my lack of belief then I will
eventually know.....stoking the fires maybe? :-)
The believer on the other hand will die in blissful ignorance if he is wrong.
I find the former condition far more intellectually satisfying to know one's errors than to remain in ignorance of them.
