frodo that is the weakest argument you have presented for Christianity to date.Guess what, you may know this but I am going to state it anyway.All religious believers of the various cults and sects of the ages said exactly what you said in your statement :"Christianity of course isn't a myth to me. It's more a revolution that makes life's purpose 100% positive. The truth is in the perfect supporting logic. Something not found in other myths".We can literally substitute the beginning of that statement with any other religion or myth and it will have the same meaning.
And then I have to ask why does life have to have some divine purpose?Anyone can have a fulfilling life and that life can be filled with purpose according to every individuals idea or definition of purpose right here on Earth.There is no need to accredit to the divine all the joys and successes you have made in this life through your own hard work and efforts.

So you're regurgitating almost word for word what Sae said then CP. And you're calling me unoriginal here??
Life doesn't have to have a purpose. Nice you pulled that one out of the air when NO ONE was talking about it. The bible says a person can achieve a full life independently. I've been saying that. What's the point then? Why wander through the dark when there's a torch? Of course you can't hear with your fingers in your ears going LA LA.

Your so called torch is faith?That is the so called "because the bible tells me so it has to be true argument.The bible does not say that fr0d0,in fact according to your bible the only way to live a full life is by submitting your so called free will to that of the imaginary guy in the sky.This so called life is contingent on complete obedience to God and his word.Let me give you chapter and verse on that one.Although of course you might find something in the bible itself that contradicts these verses or reinterpret them in your own way like most theist tend to do anyway.Or you might shock me and say that these statements are parables or completely allegorical.
Luke 12:4,5
4.And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5.But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Your religion is based on fear and since we disagree with the dribble taught in your so called holy book,this is what awaits all us hapless atheist lol.
2 Peter 2:12
12.But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Aside from not sounding very loving for not providing proof of his existence your wonderful father in heaven also requires absolute obedience to his word and his commandments.

Stop preaching at me CP it's boring. You clearly see only what you want to see. No the torch is the bible as direction vs your isolated and unverified opinion. Take either and hopefully you reach the same point. Or you would if that is possible which for you is an incredibly minute possibility. That you don't get the logic is how it's meant to be. You keep saying it so I wonder why you're not taking your own advice.

So I should take the word of a couple of primitive,superstitious,and fearful yokels over my own opinion.Oh yeah that sounds very logical fr0d0.

I don't know these primitive superstitious yokels are that you talk to chatpilot but I'd strongly recommend you take the advice of heavily tested and successfully unrefuted logic if you're interested.

Tested logic?Tested by whom and unrefuted?Only in the mind of a faith mongerer.
