Also, you are one intense motherfucker. Again, hate the individual who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality - not the work itself.
I hate being accused of being negative. Since when does accepting reality negative? I am going to die someday, that does not mean I want to die, it merely means I will. Should I pretend I wont die because I don't want to die?
Damn right I am one "intense motherfucker". We've got nuts all over the world making all sorts of absurd claims, are you suggesting no one ever get offended? I think assholes who slam planes into buildings and the assholes who support those nuts should be offended.
And you are making the same mistake I see theists make. I can hate a claim without hating the person making the claim I hate, otherwise I would have to live on an island and reject my Catholic mother and my believing co-workers and friends.
Don't allow your personal views to turn into hatred against that believe. Don't also let other peoples' believes offend you.
In my case, I know that my god is greater than anything, so if a person insulted him , it wouldn't offend me ; I know it's not true. Notice that I exploded once when people insulted -ME-, when it was personal, but from a point of view of believe ? meh, god is greater than anything else.
You should also have a similar attitude towards your believes. If you have a high confidence in atheism, then other believes shouldn't offend you.
Try to enjoy life with its contradictions : ) sometimes I wonder what would happen if atheists didn't exist ? believe me it would suck, life will be boring.
Too many believes & different POVs means constant excitement and new stuff. It's not something to feel offended from.
Also, ignoring everything without taking the chance to look at it might get you into trouble.
Please don't post anything back if you see this as a personal attack. I'm sorry if you're offended from this post.
