Let's say if we eventually get convinced of the non existence of satan or and God , what then will be your purpose in life ? How would it change you?

It does not change anything, believing that there is good and evil is enough 3 Likes 1 Share |

I am convinced that Gods and Satans and heaven and hell and anything after death are figments of the imagination cooked up in the minds of some.. And even Jesus Christ might even be a fable created by Romans (though no evidence supports this position). Still, the Word is Lord, and whosoever understands what Christ taught will live fruitfully on this earth at least. Which makes me ask you op. What is religion? |

The only way not believing in religion changed me was allow me to stop using the lens of fairytales to look at life. 3 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed: My Lord, you do still use the lens of fairytales to look at life. The difference is you never used to look at life at all with your lenses and believed you looked and saw instead. If you consider the numerous believers, both theists and atheists you discuss with, you may understand You and many others are products of your religious studies but you can't still see how it has made you who you are. And the funny thing is that's because you are still using the belief you had in the fairytales of religion to look at life instead of seeing life with the understanding you gained from the fairytales of religion. The effect is you think you see life, but you do not understand that you are looking through murky glass. So instead of blaming religion for not using your lenses my Lord, be responsible and admit you were silly for believing instead of understanding the book of fairytales. You'd have been equally silly if you had believed Aesop's fairytales or Things Fall Apart or a Physics textbook. When you understand you will actually appreciate how well your eyes work, because, your eyes do work very well, thanks to your religious studies, but you just don't yet know how well you see nor do you understand that religion opened your eyes by making you disbelieve so you'd ask and knock and seek with all your hear and soul and mind and being until you found and were set free. Now, if this isn't a right proper head twisting conundrum I have set before you my Lord. 2 Likes |

It is very easy for atheist like TheSourcerer to critic bible but it difficult for him and others to mention the Koran |

LordReed: Many will be troubled by the Christness of this atheist and the unChristness of the so called believing theist, but would not say so least they be misunderstood, yet can not deny the fruits they see with their eyes and the conviction of the Holy Ghost in their hearts. |

Nothing is lost. Christianity actually helps make a sane society. So it's nit about going to church, it's about having fellowship with God and loving your neighbors. There's nothing bad in me having a God's standard of morality. But it's beyond that. The fact that Jesus came, died and rose is enough to demololish any conspiracy theory. 1 Like |

TheSourcerer: That's lazy thinking TheSourcerer. You can at least have checked a dictionary or googled it to come up with something better than that if you had not bothered to read a whole book on religion to get what it means that is. Would you care to have another go, trying harder this time? What is religion? |

LordReed: See as you strawmanned! The person you mentioned was not talking about existence, but about learning from his or her God. But not only do you bring in existence, you expect learning to mean emulate as if one can not learn from both the good and the bad. Must one produce a talking serpent before you understand you must eat fruits of trees of knowledge, my Lord? Pelecius: |

I convince myself it's philosophy, as in studying the truths of nature and being, or at least, putting in words the thoughts in my mind, and not just the basics of theism and atheism, but it is foolish me who now starves, lol. 2 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed: Depends how you understand it. To some it poses the question, Which of the two is the God, the liar or the one that told the truth? Which should then make one wonder what truth is? All the same, it is the most important story in the entire book and the key to understanding everything else in it but most simply believe it instead of using their God given minds to ponder what it might mean. Tell. Which of the two instructing beings is more representative of Jesus Christ. |
