You think we atheists have become atheists... just for the fucking fashion?
The Piper Wrote:It will cause them to become narrow minded and dare I say it, "religious". The negative connotations associated with the subject of religion could easily conjure up a 10,000 word essay. It's not cool to revere and worship God. "I don't need God, I can do it on my own". It's easier to be arrogant than to be humble, humility requires a great deal of effort, too much effort for most.I shouldn't have to inform you that worshipping an all-mighty idiot is never cool. Sorry, we do have standards and self-respect here, and so should you. You're more moral than your first-born murdering God-concept that is unfit for reverence.
The Piper Wrote:I am a sinner just like everybody else, but I stand in awe of God. Life is so short and we are so fragile.Yes, life is short and fragile, which is all the more reason not to waste it by subscribing up to evidence-free beliefs and dogmas.
The Piper Wrote:Don't waste your life by simply feeding your own ego. Make some room for God in your heart and he will make room for you in the next life.Then why have this life Piper? Why even mourn those who are dead? If your God-concept meant for life to really begin when you're dead and gone then what's the point of being alive? Why be living on Earth when you could be dead in Heaven aka candyland? It completely negates this preachy "grand design and ultimate purpose" mystification nonsense you've been spouting out for the last paragraph; by your own omission there is no purpose in this short-lived life at all.
