Quote:You're born imperfect/ none of us are perfect.True, none of us are perfect, but I'm not aiming for perfection.
Quote:Ace: meet Adam & Eve.Evidence of their existance would do lovely.
Quote:hence the need to wipe out bad stuff we do.I don't believe you can wipe out bad things althogether but make up for it later on. You can over come many bad things in life but the many good things you do. Falling to your knees and hoping your invisible friend will solve your problems won't do anything.
Quote:Learning to live with the imperfection is a way of dealing with it too.I never think about imperfection or perfection. All that comes to my mind, is what I should do with the time I have. I do not strive for any afterlife, perfection, endless peace....ect. Because I know I cannot archive any of these. That doesn't mean I can't become more than I am and live my life to the full.
Quote:So... with the problem being turned around by the bad stuff being wiped out for you and you just having to accept that - is what being saved means.I can take care of all the "bad stuff" in my life all on my own. Does this mean I am more capable than you because I don't need some kind of religion/god to do it for me?
I accept the bad side of things and overcome them. I don't need to be saved from anything.
Quote:Hell is what's happening to you now if you carry around guilt/ stop yourself from fulfilling your potential.Don't believe in hell.
I'm not carrying around any guilt. Also I don't see how I'm "stopping myself" from fulfilling my potential. I've done many things in life which some people would envy. I've piloted aircrafts, had oral sex with many girls, been on some old warships, out witted teachers when they tried to get me into detention, out ran everyone in high school, climbed small mountins in north wales..ect. I could go on and on. Yet I'm only 21 and still have many years yet to live. Where am I stopping myself from living to the full? I think I'm doing pretty well.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
