I feel sad for people who dont experience the happiness of prayer/meditiation/soul searching/transcendence.....communion with God.

When you prayed did it ever work?

Don't be, its much better to use your mind towards something usefull/fun. Instead of seaching your mind for communion with a god, its way more productive to weight in the consequences of your choices.
There are alot of things that can get us happiness, the vast majority are futile or detrimental.

I feel sad for the people that let their biases go unchecked, and now they think they're communicating with a non-existent being.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
I feel sad for people who consider their own life subservient to a figment of their indoctrination.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Agreed Stimbo. This thread is getting silly. Shall we hijack it??

I'd almost forgotten that hilarious bit of phrasing. 20 years I spent as a christian. Never once did god communicate with me. (Remember communication is a TWO way street, not a one way alley on your knees.) And before you go posting your pathetic responses, I'll just go ahead and do it for you ... #1 Argument: You weren't a True Christian. Well I have my ID badge, do you have yours? ![[Image: True-Christian.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk619%2Fjcincain%2FPublic%2FTrue-Christian.png) I can assure you, I was legit. I walked down the aisle many times, got my heart right with god many times, did communion and went forward while the congregation sang, "...is your all on the altar ..." many many times. I was as legitimate and you can fucking get. #2 Argument: You weren't Seeking hard enough. Drich and GC are always shooting off their mouths with this one. "You have to SEEK god, you have to seek god. Seek Seek Seek. God won't speak to you unless you seek and seek and seek." A filthy apologists pathetic copout. 20 Fucking years I wanted to know god and "feel" him speak to me. I mean I REALLY wanted to know and understand. Either their god needs to wake the fuck up and realize I only have a limited amount of years to live, or he don't exist. All evidence points to the latter. You see their god can't exist. "Seek and ye shall find." Nope. Total Lie. "Move mountains with the faith of a mustard seed." Nope. Untrue. "Whatever you ask in my name." Nope. Total Outright Lie.
If you pray to a being you have never seen or heard for things like daily council and good decision making you are a stupid fucking imbecile ... just like I once was as a child.

Because being a Christian to me means finding. You clearly state that this was never you. |
