Ginkgo is Aug 01, 2008 01:47PM in a discussion with an atheist friend who doesn't understand why my responses are not 100% tightly written. It's called 2 kids, dear!
FreelanceTwins says Aug 01, 2008 02:45PM why would it be hard to be an atheist? I think it would be harder to retain religious faith for so long
babybaby says Aug 01, 2008 03:13PM if you're an atheist and something in life goes bad...its just bad. There's no purpose behind it, and there's no one to ask for help.
FreelanceTwins says Aug 01, 2008 03:16PM babybaby You have family you can ask for help, friends and people you love and care about, and who care about it
FreelanceTwins says Aug 01, 2008 03:16PM It's not that there's NO purpose, just no higher purpose. Friends and family are enough for me
babybaby says Aug 01, 2008 03:20PM idk if i can deal with my family without say saying "oh god pleeease" lol
FreelanceTwins says Aug 01, 2008 03:26PM but in seriousness I personally feel the love of family and friends is enough reason to live this life
babybaby says Aug 01, 2008 03:27PM i found God a few years ago. and actually, it wasn't so i could ask for help. it was because i needed someone to thank. isn't that odd?
Shumpitron says Aug 01, 2008 03:33PM bad things are just challenges to be overcome. Keeps life interesting
Shumpitron says Aug 01, 2008 03:34PM And to be honest, I much prefer to think that there isn't something intentionally screwing with my day
babybaby says Aug 01, 2008 03:36PM i like to think the score -that there is a score, and it can be evened.
babybaby says Aug 01, 2008 03:56PM this is probably sacrilegious lol, but I think believing God is a luxury. It adds a layer of comfort and pleasure...like mittens.
Shumpitron says Aug 01, 2008 04:01PM I'd agree with that. It's why I don't take the hard atheist stance that there shouldn't be religion
babybaby says Aug 01, 2008 04:05PM thats nice. Its often hard to have a religious chat without being attacked -from either view.
Shumpitron says Aug 01, 2008 04:13PM forsooth. To your original response, I've found life to be much more enjoyable since I became an atheist
FreelanceTwins wishes Aug 02, 2008 04:28AM i didnt leave this conversation earlier. On the plus side I found Plurk's search button :p
FreelanceTwins wishes Aug 02, 2008 04:30AM Shumpitron You made my day with " I much prefer to think that there isn't something intentionally screwing with my day"
