The Offer

One day in alt.atheism, Also Sprach The Rev Optional:


My life was improved by atheism.

Yeah! You can drink all day long and not feel guilty?


Since I no longer fear an invisible man
watching me, judging my every move, I can freely make decisions for the
better.

Your better? You don't control ****, I bet your life is a shambles.

Do you control ****? What an outstanding accomplishment! Your parents
must be very proud.



My conscious is clear, knowing I am not a lowly sinner, worthy of
nothing more than groveling to some invisible fairy, and it is apparent
in my manner of conduct, as in my self-esteem.





Throwing the god-monkey off my
shoulders was the best thing I ever did.

This says that you once believed, What happened? God didn't do it your
way?


Religion doesn't make any sense. I saw that at age seven. An agnostic and
deist (somewhat), it still took me about 30 years to realize that my belief
in afterlife was nothing more than wishful thinking.

So now you can run amuck and have no conscience.


What makes you think so? Is your trust of humankind that weak? Do you
really need a book of morality written thousands of years ago to keep you
from killing and raping? Questionable morality at that, too...

So what you're saying is that *you* would do the same if you stopped
believing in a deity? That is certainly the underlying implication.
There's a word for such a person: sociopath.

I'm not sure what they're telling you in sunday school about
non-christians, but not all of us are raving anarchists.
