How many "beliefs" are responsible for wars and death? An incorrect belief can be a dangerous thing. It can even cause death.
Don't feel sorry for me, I strive to live an honest truthful life, and how can someone go wrong living like that?
I feel sorry for those that need to play make-believe in order to cope with life. I feel sorry for those that can't cope with living in a world of
truth and honesty.
How can someone say "it's a belief" yet make claims worded as the truth? How can someone state a thing as a fact, yet not really know? That's
lying no matter how you try to cut it and butter it up.
Now, I'm no atheist or agnostic. I'm just being honest and truthful here when I say I've seen no proof whatsoever that all this is some omnipotent
deity's matrix/reality. Yet. Have you?
If I were to go to church and sing "Yes Jesus loves you" I would be a liar, because I do not know that for a fact. Does anyone? Those that sing such
a song and don't really know ARE lying. Is that a good thing? Does your god want me to lie? Is that how one gets into heaven, by lying?
Sorry, but I can not trust those that would lie and sing such things without really knowing. That's just WRONG and DECEPTIVE to make a factually
worded claim without really knowing. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
How many here have claimed there is a god, yet honesty don't really know? I was brought up to understand that THAT is telling a lie.
Those that make such claims without really knowing should realize the horrible evil disservice you are doing to those that are honest and truthful
like me. What are we to think when no god has come to shake our hands like all you special privileged ones that claim you REALLY know? Are we to feel
shunned and rejected by your god? Why hasn't this deity come to meet me and give me the proof so I won't have to lie and play make-believe
instead?
I feel so worthless now. Your god refuses to prove he/she/it exists to me like he/she/it has proven to you all that can proclaim you apparently know
without having to apparently lie. Thanks, thanks for making folks like me feel like outcast rejects. Now I feel like hanging myself for not being in
the KNOW like the rest of you (apparently) non-liars. Where's some rope? Anyone have some rope they can loan me for a short while?
