The ones who prostehelicize the loudest are the biggest doubters trying to make themselves believe. And true believe in a deity only makes you think you are liberated from responsibility of your words and actions.

The interesting thing I found in that article was that people who are afraid to die are less resilient about loved one's deaths. I'll be glad when it is all over, if it is not painful. I've had a difficult life through living in a dysfunctional family and wasted my best years. The only reason I have some contentment now is that I am retired on a moderate income and have good health and can spend my days as I like. But I can't aspire to anything. I was hoping to spend my retirement in a warm country in Europe, but Brexit has put a stop to that. So, I will end my days in a country full of stupid racists who have closed the door to Europe and opened it to all the countries around the world. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openozy Posted September 2 #109 Share Posted September 2 People waste their whole lives living in fear of the inevitable, praying to nothing in the hope of eternal life. Life is dangerous every day on this planet, it's like everything is out to kill you and it is. When you get past the fear of dying you start to live happily, just keep dodging the speeding cars, falling branches blah blah blah and keep truckin until the reaper catches up 👍. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us come from a dysfunctional family, some of us grow up and get over it. I'm sorry you can't immigrate to europe, what about Australia, do they let retired people immigrate there or is it still only people who have a useful trade/experience or service?

I guess if you don't get your hammer out or start hitting people with your holy book, you are not imposing your beliefs. And you haven't really imposed them as you haven't converted anyone. I don't understand why people have to make stuff up and spread it for others (who are too lazy to make their own stuff up) to explain the unexplainable. And then it goes further than that when some things are explained with science or actual logic, it is refuted by those who cling to made up beliefs. Not every religious person does this, many are religious and study science, the two do not contradict each other in essence, but we aren't required to believe in a omnipotent diety that is judging us in order to be a good human or have a good life.
