It would be nice to believe you are going to live forever, which to me is those most tempting reason to believe in God. But I can’t lie to myself to make myself feel good. I wish I could.
I think our old friend Steven- the frogs and sticks and shit philosopher – made a good point about heaven. Wouldn’t the normal versions of heaven be kind of boring? No challenges in heaven? Honestly, I think this life on Earth is heaven. It has been for me ever since I’ve known my Agnes. Yes, heaven happens to be tempory. Eventually the light will be switched off, sure as the sun will eventually engulf the Earth. I just try to be thankful for the time I’ve had, and more importantly, the time I have left.
@alordsums post36, I really enjoyed reading your post. I was a little worried where you were going in your comments earlier but you explained what you meant really well at 36.
Personally, I don’t support religion generally, mainly because of what they outline as right and wrong ie contraception other than abstaining is a sin, homosexuality being wrong, sex before marriage being punishable etc.
However I have some really good friends and know people I respect where religion plays a very important role in their lives. I am able to respect them because they have found a way to have their faith and not encroach on others’ rights.
Does anybody else here kinda figure that religion was introduced to settle people down…like a life-long Santa Claus? You know, to stop people from doing whatever-the-fuck they wanted for their lives? “Wait, wait…someone’s watching you! If you’re not good now, you’ll never get your everlasting presents later!” He-knows-when-you-are-sleeping, he-knows-when you’re-awake…
Don’t get me wrong, brilliant idea. Don’t think we’d be here if it weren’t for religion. At the same time, I’d feel a lot better about our future if religion weren’t involved.
Just be good people, damnit! But, judging by most of what I read on lamebook, people are too retarded to just do it on their own.
To each their own, really. If religion gets people by, I’ve got no problem with it. Not my thing, but it’s fine with me if it’s yours. Anything to get people to not fuck their pets…
@ jjrocko: I find it amusing that you insist other people are retarded, yet you compose the sentence:”I’d feel a lot better about our future if religion weren’t involved”? Seems like the pot calling the kettle black to me…
On a side note, I think that I will make a FB profile for Allah or Muhammad. If Christianity isn’t off limits, why should the Muslim faith be? Whadda think?
Glad you’re amused. That’s what I’m here for. I was more directly speaking about the people and their status updates on lamebook. Don’t exactly think my sentence, while probably not completely correct, is remotely close to the people that get put on this site. Not the comments, of course…
BUT, if you insist that my previous sentence qualifies me as retarded, I guess you must have quite the IQ yourself…and should probably be doing better things with your time than wasting it on lamebook.
To your other question…why would I give a shit? It’s all the same thing. That was the whole point of my post…are are you retarded? 🙂
@jjrocko: I am just playing with you, but I appreciate that you can laugh at yourself. That is what makes the difference in the world, so many people are just so uptight.
Heloooo! Fargis is in the second post!
Do I have to spell it put for you guys!?
