Because their fucking stupid and afraid of the truth. The Bible gives a purpose to people's lives. But the truth of it is, our lives are pointless. We'll be dead in 80 years, new animals of our species will take our places, and over tens of thousands of years, an insignificant period of time with respect to the age of the earth and universe, no one will remember who the fuck, anyone is. Life is pointless. Their is no afterlife, their is no hell, their is nothing. That's the truth. It's science, it's common sense, it's reality, and every single event in the history of man-kind says it's true. Enjoy it while we can, because that's all we'll ever have.
Don't you find it extremely arrogant that people think there's an afterlife? That their so fucking important that they'll be something after death for them? Fuck no. You're unimportant, I'm unimportant, Kobe is unimportant, Obama is unimportant. It's all unimportant. Our lives are meaningless. And anyone who thinks the human race has a greater purpose or is "special" should just go ahead and kill themselves. We're no more special then the millions of trees who keep us alive. No more special then a seagull eating out of a dumpster. We all go to the same place. We all decompose into the earth and our atoms assimilate into other things
When you think about it, I'm just a bunch of atoms, pushing buttons made of atoms, connected to a computer made of atoms. That's all we are. Their is no soul, their is mystical force. Their is nothing more, nothing less. And whoever thinks their is an afterlife, is seriously ignorant to almost every thread of common sense imaginable. So stop thinking we're special, and that we're going somewhere when we die. Not going to happen. Every event anyone has ever experienced in the history of mankind says so. Unless you believe some bullshit written 2000 years ago. And that would be really insane.

its the best thing homie...you dont worry about death...you just accept shit the way it is. if anything being an atheist is the most liberating thing. thats how i see it..if niggas wanna believe in god..fine..believe in god. just leave me out of it.

You don't worry about death? So if you're chilling in the park enjoying the day and some dude rolls up and starts firing shots every where, you're just going to sit tight and not care if a bullet hits you? Or are you going to find cover and avoid getting hit? Just about everyone is afraid of death and value their life. Religious people just take it a step further and want to make sure they don't die after they die.
I've said something in an older thread that sums up what I want to say again;
--- Quote from: Shallow on January 09, 2009, 01:45:23 PM ---We have so much and bask in it that we can easily just live our lives to the fullest. Go tell some kid who is going to live his entire life in a caged off garbage dump picking scraps and giving them to his masters for food and to avoid being tortured to "stop worrying and enjoy your life". I don't know if there is a God, but I sure as fuck hope there's one. Not for me. If I live my 80+ years in the lifestyle I live it maybe when it's all over I won't care if there's a God. But there are hundreds of millions to billions of people that really suffer ann don't have time to debate theologies. They just suffer, and they hope there's a God.

So go scoff at those that believe in a better life. Laugh at them. Feel sorry for them for being stupid. Whatver you want. But you've never faced endless suffering. You get to sit in front of a computer and browse the web. There are young children in the world sold as sex slaves from 3 or 4 years old an dieing of STDs before they ever even hit puberty. Go tell them not to sweat death. Tell them that they can liberate themselves by accepting that there's no God.

why worry about death homie?. everybody gonna die sooner or later. if niggas start shootin at cuzz then of course i will do everything in my power to survive that shit. look homie..i love life and love being alive. but that dont mean im scared of death...cuz i ain't. as for endless suffering..u think everybody who done suffered greatly believe in god?. my uncle spent almost 10 years fightin cancer...nigga couldnt eat...work...fucc..all he did was throw up...i used to send cuzz money..and believe me that nigga did suffer some unimaginable pain. he survived though. and no he didnt believe in god before or after. to him...god is bullshit. And the lil kids who is living hell right now..the last thing they need is some bullshit god. let kids be kids homie.
--- End quote ---
As far as my own mortal life, I don't worry about death. Your uncle suffered for a portion of his life and lived. I'm talking about kids that never knew joy and are dead. How am I or you supposed to let kids be kids when they spend their whole lives in shit and are now dead? The first thing a dead kid needs is God, not the last thing.

--- Quote from: .:DaYg0sTyLz:. on July 01, 2009, 11:03:55 AM ---People follow it for all the wrong reasons. Mainly fear. Kids believe in Santa Claus because they are afraid they wont get the presents the want at Christmas...until some adult explains to them that Santa is not real. He is make believe. Imagine if there were no rational adults to explain that to young children. They'd become adults that believed in such a ridiculous idea of a fat man from the North Pole watching over everyone to see who's naughty and nice, and swoops down in one night to bring presents to EVERYone lol. Seems so silly for adults to believe such an obviously made up character huh? Not like God and that Jesus character. Their existence makes so much more sense... :-\
--- End quote ---
So if an adult never told you Santa wasn't real you'd still believe in Santa?
I guess you're as stupid as your post is then. Most kids I grew up with just figured out Santa wasn't real. We didn't need a sit down explanation. Kids simply outgrow certain things. Scoffing at the idea of God when many of the world's most reasonable and intelligent people belive in God is simply ignorant on your part. Santa was made up as a story and admitted as such. By all historical accounts the early Christians believed in Jesus and died for real to promote them. It was never implied anywhere in history that Jesus was allegory to them and they didn't really believe. No one died defending Kris Kringle.

No, I wouldnt still believe in Santa. Which is why I am able to understand that religion is completely bullshit as well. Adults fear death just as children do. They dont fear getting coal in their stockings the same way children do. People become completely stupid and tend to believe in anything that will comfort them when they are in fear. More intelligent people understand this, which is why the more intelligent people invented this scam in the first place. Does it matter if people who you consider "intelligent" believe in God? No. Does it make God any more real? lol Definetely not. There are intelligent people who think a rabbits foot brings them good luck. Does that mean its logical to believe rabbits feet are lucky? The "idea" of God has not, and never will be proven because it is fake. If you need to cling to a higher being like a baby does a security blanket to make you feel better about the fact that when you die...it will be OVER. Then go ahead. Thats your choice. Just don't get upset when logical people look at you and laugh.
--- End quote ---
You said Santa and God are the same and you said adults tell children Santa is fake and that's why they stop believing. Now you're changing your stance.
Keep scoffing at the idea of religion and those "logical" people you hang out with and laugh with can laugh at Isaac Newton before they laugh at me. A man a lot smarter than maybe every athiest combined believed in the "idea" of God. He actually attributed his genius to God and called it a gift. It was the only way he could explain how he could see things in math and science that 99.9% of the rest of the world's smartest people couldn't even fathom.
I guess he wasn't that smart after all. Who needs physics and calculus anyway?
I don't laugh at or scoff at athiests. If you don't believe in anything after, fine by me. I don't think less of you or think you'll be punished. I simply chose to have faith in more from this world than what we have as humans from anywhere between 1 and 100 years. It doesn't change anything about the way I live my life. There is nothing I enjoy doing that I refrain from doing because I think God says it's wrong. If I fel it's right I'll do it. If I don't I won't
