    She didn't deliver on my 100,000,000 cheque that was supposed to be delivered.

    Probably because you didn't spell "check" correctly and she didn't know wth you were talking about. Canadians. sheesh.

    Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on your own happiness than make other people feel lousy for having a belief?

    ITA about not evangelizing because that's indicative of what's inside of you, not the other person.

    But to play Devil's advocate, this is a forum about beliefs and religion, so it should be expected to come up in conversation quite often. And grown adults aren't puppets on strings whose emotions others can control. Affect, yes. Control, no. People can't actually make others react in any way. Sometimes I'm disappointed in posters reacting emotionally and then blaming others...kwim?

    I hate the spelling 'check' for cheque. It is not what we are taught, and I am finding in all over the place now... in CANADA. The horror. Truly, the horror!!!

    Peace,

    Our spelling adds colour, flavour and humour to stuff.

    Faith follows the thing heard.....

    all you need to do is cover your ears

    but love starts in the eyes of understanding

    But if you try to close your eyes

    Love turns into a teardrop

    but in your heart lies it's broken remains

    This is rediculous. It insinuates that people who are non-believers are deaf, blind, and pitiful.

    I don't see that that has anything to do with athiesm?

    @Black Sheep

    It has a lot to do with BECOMING an atheist for many. It isn't necessarily what makes one atheist, but it opens the door to that path of logic. Once you are willing to let go of your fantasies about living forever, it becomes easier to start accepting more logical answers about life on Earth.
