hi all

Easy: Drink more. You always feel less guilty about your actions when you're drunk. If you're really lucky you don't even remember them in the morning.

Advice doesn't come much greater than that... However, some guilt is present, for example, after eating a big kebab when drunk... You wake up the next day not thinking "why did I drink so much?", but rather "why did I have that kebab?".

[The Grand Nudger]

Hahaha, man, I would sit in bars in Germany wolfing down kebabs loaded with as much garlic and onions as possible, literally swimming in whiskey in the corner booth. Never once did I wake up with any such remorse. I always woke up wanting another kebab and more whiskey. You need to make peace with His Great Kebabliness.

[frankiej]

Maybe it is just the kebabs here suck.

And welcome to the forums. Also beware of Deism, it's slightly more credible than Theism because it doesn't have a God who intervenes in human affairs, but it's still absurdly unsupported by evidence. It's just the argument from incredulity basically.

Ignore him, I'm not having that.

I propose the fact you can't explain how something comes from nothing is an argument from "incredulity", (I don't know what that means).

What I will say is if you want to feel hollow inside, settle for a meaningless life, can't celebrate Xmas or Eid because you will be acting a hypocrite because you don't believe in God, if you want to carry on not eating pork and not drinking because it makes you a better person then don't become an atheist (already encouraging you to eat pork tut tut).

As a Deist you can have all those things plus unburden yourself from man made dogma and still have the strength and morality of a believer, we study nature and the universe using science to be closer to God so you will become more educated as part of the deal.

atheists become miserable and alone, excluded even, take Minimalist for example, he is such an angry person mad at the world, I think he really needs to be held.


...... I'm off to turn this into a commercial.

"The strength and morality of a believer"..lol, so does that come with a bronze sword or a stack of kindling, a post, and some rope?

And I propose you avoid words you don't know the meaning of.

Think you might have your positives/negatives mixed up on your second bit there. If you want to feel hollow inside, don't become an atheist? No argument from me there.

Assuming you think atheists have meaningless existences or are hollow inside, I doubt I'd be the first person to explain why that's an idiotic point to make. Since it has probably been explained to you before, I suspect you're being deliberately dishonest.

Man, even though I have been an atheist my whole life, when i started getting involved in learning about religion, and I started to appreciate everything more... As a proud, open atheist, I can say that I am far happier.

That's what googles for!

Yeah it's called a sales pitch.

Deism >> Atheism, don't hate the player hate the game.

Ahem, two words, "explain Minimalist?"


That is not happiness!! ..... he's gonna kill me when he see's all this lol.

There are things called Trading Standards that stop marketers from making preposterous claims and telling lies. I think maybe you need some kind of regulatory body so that you don't make stupid misrepresentations.
