RE: Is atheism worth living for?
Is religion worth living for?

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

That can be done, by surprise, at any Boy Scout Jamboree...

So, brewer, do you not believe that God does not exist?

I have a lack of belief in any gods existing, period. god(s) only exist as a faulty concept of human minds.

I'm not sure how to make it any clearer for you but am not convinced that you understand.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

The evidence for the non-existence of God is compelling. This is what I believe.

Don't you mean that lack of evidence for any god(s) existing?

It might be interesting to hear what you believe is your 'evidence'.

God died in Auschwitz, brewer, or haven't you heard?

You don’t need to ponder the question.    Atheism can’t be bothered to ask you to die for it.

You are basically asking, "would you live/die for not being convinced of the existence of unevidenced, unfalsifiable supernatural claims?".

Restate your question, but substitute any other supernatural claim in place of gods, and see if it makes any sense. "Would you live/die for your disbelief in: ghosts, Ginn, bigfoot, etc, etc?"

Atheism is not a world view, has no doctrine, no dogma, no organizing leaders. It is nothing more than not being convinced in the existence of gods.

Atheism, is (IMO) nothing more, than correctly applying skepticism to the god claim. Other than that, it really does not have any content, that I can think of.


This seems kind of like a non sequitur.

Atheism is communal if anything. United we stand, divided we fall.



Does gravity fall, so to speak, if those who suspect it’s existence fail to unite?

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
