RE: A Small Census

A little questionnaire is in order, I think. All of the following questions come from strawmen jstrodel built in this thread.
Quote:1. What is your age?
26
Quote:2. Are you married? Kids?
engaged and waitin till marriage, and nope: no kids yet
Quote:3. Are you angry or disappointed at "God"?
I'm disappointed that I spent so much of my life believing in something that doesn't exist.
Quote:4. Do you subscribe to hedonism?
Ummmmmm, I don't know what this word means. So, no? Is it like heathenism? Cuz in that case, yeah 
Quote:5. Are you an atheist because you want to be, without eternal consequences, sexually promiscuous? A drug addict? An alcoholic?
Not sexually promiscuous, don't drink, don't do drugs (anymore). I quit all those things incidentally, when I deconverted from christianity.
Quote:6. Do you like "psychedelic" music?
*Giggles. You grew up pretty sheltered, huh? Its fine, so did I. I like Pink Floyd, but only when I'm high. Which is never.
Quote:7. Was atheism "transmitted" to you from a "Marxist"?
ROFLOLOLOLOLololOLOLololOLOLol You um, wow. Ha. No words. that's a no if you're still wondering (which I'm pretty sure you are).
Quote:8. Are you selfish?
Not in the slightest. I'd give my heart away if I had a backup.
Quote:9. Is your "community" centered around pornography?
I live in the bible belt, so the most pornographic thing for miles is a strip club outside of city limits where the girls gotta wear pasties and panties.
Quote:10. Is your atheism a political statement?
I too am a closet athiest. No one need bother their sweet little Jesus hearts about me goin to hell, so I don't tell them their religion is bullshit and hope they don't tell me something horribly racist, judgemental, or sexist.
Quote:11. Were you recruited into atheism by the promises of sex and drugs?
Again, the magnitude of ridicule that I could put here is enormous. Just, exorbitant in every way imaginable. WOW.
Do you indeed sit down to pee? Fair question, considering all of your questions..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Since I'm renowned for misinterpretations, what'd I do? 
I guess I shoulda read more of Jstrodels posts but all I got to was 'are you sure you arent an athiest cuz you like sex, drugs, and pink floyd?"
Is he a poe? Is that what I'm missing here?
Someone tell me, please, I need to know!

No, sorry! I thought that you didn't realize I was basing the questions on jstrodel's strawmen. You're good! Sorry about that

Deleted.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I love hugs! I think, unfortunately, nay on this one.
On another note, why do people keep deleting their posts in this thread?

I was just wondering the same thing, and then I thought, "I've totally done it before".
