PF, have you managed to get your verbal diorreah out of your system yet? Good. I'd like to think you have something better to do with your life than be upset by me. Btw, I mentioned my brother once, in my first post, when I was drunk. You've been bringing it up repeatedly.

MissUnderstood, I'm glad that you're doing ok.

Willhelm. As for your first paragraph. Answers to a thread don't always have to be exactly within it's scope. An answer that is still relevent doesn't necessarily explicitly answer the original question.

What I said was, that she needs to build her own strength and rely on it. Practically, that is a more beneficial answer than "yes, I will pray for you now and forever". So yes, what I said was relevent.


As for athiesm/agnocism being ridiculous - I truly believe in science, and mathematics. If someone sparked a cigarette lighter in front of some cavemen, they would believe you were god. It is folly, in my opinion, to fill in the gaps in your knowledge with superstition. My saying that the negatives in the world justify the lack of existance in a god is obviously insufficient, it's just something else I feel on top of it.

I fail to see how confessing to not knowing, is a shakier opinion than believing the words written by humans thousands of years ago in order to keep people in check. I don't in any way hide from reality, in fact I believe that people who don't question themselves and their worlds by blindly believing what they were told when they were dragged to church as a child are the ones in a small box...

You say it is strength that people believe they will live for eternity and meet their dead loved ones when they pass on? I believe it's making up anything to look away from the stark reality that confronts you.

At the end of the day, people and their lives will make people believe different things, I was just suggesting to be your own power, rather relying on something external to fix things for you, and it all got blown out of proportion.
