Sinning in the name of... |
I just found your group and then I felt like saying: I don't really
care whether some kind of deity exists or not, but the self-hatred,
fear, and judgment of other people's personal lives that most
Religions seem to teach is dead wrong, in my opinion. There is no
heaven, hell, or limbo to go to when I die, there's just the here and
now. Life is all that matters not the decomposition that follows it.
Fulfilling my carnal desires, my desire for wealth, my gluttony for
tasty snacks and all of the other "deadly sins" that hurt nobody else
and benefit myself, will not get me punished, but instead a reward; a
reward of a life worth living. I don't really care if people spend
their lives fearing jehovah or allah or whoever or judging others as
they live in moral hypocrisy, but for me enjoying my life is god and
I'll worship that until I die a content man.

Are you a hedonist or do you donate to any
causes, charities or research or do any
volunteer work? Atheism only means a lack
of belief in the existence of a god or gods. It
doesn't mean the hell with everyone else.

Yeah, well the East German judge wishes to dissent, giving it a 6 on the bite-me-o-meter,
but calling it too lame to register as a troll.

Well then the East German judge can just bite me.
I'm sticking by my meter reading.

Where are you guys getting troll from? He could stand to paragraph it a
bit, but it seems perfectly sincere.

Where are you guys getting troll from? He could stand to paragraph it a

I felt that, too. Seems to me the OP is on the right track for honest
reasons of his own. They may not be your reasons, or mine, but they are
internally consistent with lack of belief in gods as judges and so on.
If you're an atheist, the only thing you have is this life. It's your
right and maybe even your duty to live it the way you like as long as
it hurts nobody else. That's all the OP was saying.

I just noticed this in the original: "enjoying my life is god". I had
misread that as "enjoying my life is good", as opposed to how Christians
say it's evil to feel pleasure, so at least I now understand why they
figures he's not serious.

Saving a little time here, two birds/one stone.
I might be wrong.
I was going along with the poster most of the way, but the parting shot sounded just a little
bit too familiar, too much like a hook or a gotcha! trap. In the thirty years or so since I
stopped smoking, I've gotten used to trusting my nose, but I'll allow that it isn't
infallible.
