'CR, I can say what I like and I repeat, immortality as you envisage it holds zero attraction to me.
Does a child ask to be born? In my world it does not, so what's your point?
I must say CR, that your time spent on this forum does not appear to have altered your hope one jot about God's existence and all that flows from it.'
This just goes to show how we may perceive things incorrectly. My point about eternal life, was that if such a thing actually exists, then I don't think you would feel like that, but then this is quite a non- sensical thing to be 'discussing' as you don't believe in any of this, do you? Your last comment about my time spent here is bullshit if you'll pardon my candour. I'm learning alot, and sorry if you haven't convinced me, but who says I won't 'see the light'? I've only just begun to investigate things like evolution, and many of the arguments presented here by friendlier folk than you do make me wonder more than you can imagine. I know I still 'quote' things, but by doing this you (the atheists) are able to counter debate and provide viewpoints etc that I may never have considered. My faith is very fragile and I'm only holding onto it by a thin thread. Just as I respect others beliefs, whether religious, non religious, etc you should try to exercise a bit more warmth and friendliness and maybe even make allowances for us 'virus infected' folk. After all, I've been infected for best part of 40 years.
CR, please feel free to express yourself as you see fit. I won't be offended. I'm sorry you find me less friendly than others but that's your right too. Perhaps it's down to candour? ( your choice of word ). I am not the most patient of people so perhaps that goes some way to explaining my apparent " unfriendliness ".
As I have said to Daystar I am not out to convince/convert you..I don't seriously think you can be. That's the point.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
