Why people who are religious are better and more special

RE: Why people who are religious are better and more special
(August 16, 2014 at 11:55 am)Mozart Link Wrote: Unlike many of my other topics which are long and incoherent, this topic gets my point across strongly and is very brief. It explains why I think people who do believe in a God and an afterlife are better and more special people than atheists:

People who think they are special and such apply that perception to life itself and conclude that life itself must also be something special and meant for them. For example, someone who thinks "I am a very helpful and caring special person" might then conclude that this life must then be something special as well and offers a special "higher" reward for who they are as a person (a God and an afterlife). They are not willing to either accept that this is not the case and no longer complain about it, or they still insist on believing that there is a God and an afterlife anyway. I feel that the reason such people believe in such things anyway despite much scientific evidence is because they are just too much of a human being (someone great and special) to, again, possibly stoop so low as to believe or accept otherwise.

So, seriously, how many sites are you going to copy paste this little screed on?
