Just wanted to share my view on a local new story done in my region. A woman, lost her mother and brother in law to COVID. She stated at the end of the story the only way she has stayed positive is through her faith. It's sad that people have to deal with loss to this stuff, but to say your last strain of hope is because of faith, I think is strange. During these times, I'm still the most puzzled about ho people of faith, can even bother with faith. To me, to you guys I think you would agree, I'm surprised the COVID thing, isn't the waking up point for people of faith, to like, you know what all religion is horrible and if God did exist, he sure wouldn't care about people. Why, do you think people turn to faith as their last hope in life?
For myself, what makes the Atheist community and especially this forum, is how great it is to always come here and share with all of you and be around other Atheists. Hope, everyone is doing well and safe.
(bold mine)
Why do you assume faith is "[...] their last hope in life"? I have my reasons, I'd like to hear your reasoning ... and this is a question coming from an apostate of the Christian flavor.
Thanks for the well wishes, likewise towards ya Tomatoshadow2. And as an addendum, as you follow the forum rules on AF.org you'll be fine. Another forum, that shall not be named, are a bunch of censorious bunch controlling the narrative and specifically any possible hint at critique of their narrative. They keep a tight ship, but it's held together by stretched rubber bands and gaffa tape, which is ironically hilarious since they got such huge amount of active members. I wouldn't be surprised if the mod to regular poster ratio over there was something like 5 : 1
