Quote:Maybe that's harsh, but even on online video games I've gotten people to call my life worthless and I should kill myself just for claiming atheism. So I have to point out that my life has intrinsic value since this is the only life I've got and they think this life is just a doormat to wipe your feet on. If someone is going to call me a waste of a life for not agreeing with him in a thread, then maybe the world would be better off without those Christians telling Atheists they are a waste of a life for not seeing something their way.All lives have intrinsic value. I fell pity for some people who can't respect others simply because they happen to think differently for them. We are all one race, one species, all our lives are equally valuable, it doesn't matter our differences, we should think more about what we have in common.
If those people lack intellect or values to understand all lives are valuable independently of belief or lack of it, then don't hate them, feel sorry for them, those poor things, I wish I could make them see how their stupidity harms the world, and worse yet that kind of stupidity is contagious between family and friends.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
