Atheism: An Empty Shell of a Life

[DagonVarunaMitraApolloZan]

I think a lot of "theists" might be nominal, might be sort of just lying, pretending, and are mainly atheists inside and don't really believe, and can't really believe, because their idea or ideas about God just don't make sense to them and seem too unrealistic, and so they may say over and over again they believe but haven't experienced anything which really makes them truly believe so that its all talk. They too would be expected to be living an empty shell of a life.

I'm not sure it's correct to think that a lack of belief in deities means a person's happiness exclusively comes from materialistic things.

if there is no belief in the spirit.....
then all the motivation is held here in this life
which is material

you do good to feel good?

or do you perform good as it is your nature to do so?

and your nature is purely?.....material?

BINGO!!!

Because it hurts my soul.

It's not all about you, though, is it?

That was a continuation of my post on the previous page or earlier, which seemed to appear at a bad time because its like it never even existed or was seen, like how a theist might imagine the life of the average atheist, a lot of stuff that amounts to nothing like an unseen and un-responded to, ignored, un-interacted with, post!

Exactly, it's not your duty to *fix* me, or anyone. Nobody is asking this of you.

Except when you make it public and deliberately try to cause argument. When you insult people with your ignorance then it is everyone's duty to educate you in the meaning of civilization.

Me and people like me have a voice. And we will not remain silent.

So you want to silence me from expressing my deepest feelings?

 

[Cooky]

really, I only want to hear from theists.

...Atheists can post freely. But don't expect me to agree with something that goes against my conscience. It won't happen.

I would prefer you actually educated yourself and stoped hiding in a hole of emptiness

How do certain threads get attention? Which area are they usually posted in?

I fear I don't know how to get activity on my threads, but they could just be uninteresting to people but are seen.

I asked about Atheism and Theism and wanted to know in depth stories and testimonials but I don't even know where my threads even show up, I can scarcely find them again myself, its just like they go poof!

Moving Towards Atheism or Theism? Shifts, New Beliefs, Etc.

Can the Atheists and Theists from here go to my thread also and write their stories about their journeys and thoughts please? I'd really appreciate it!

Ahh right so you only want people who agree with you. Putting it on a public thread says much about your intentions

I don't care for your "education".

 

[sayak83]

I want to ask people if they see the same thing about Atheism -that it's an empty shell of a life. I'm not talking about scriptures, church, beliefs, facts or anything else... I just want to see if anyone else sees that no connection to divinity feels empty, and lacking... your opinions would be appreciated.

No. Because atheists can follow Epicuren philosophy and way of life that is meaningful, rich and satisfying imo.

I expected this.

It won't stop me.

Wrong sub forum then.

Not mine, just education. Take it or leave it,up to you. If you like insulting just to get a rise i can see why you don't want education and the sad thing is, you will never understand.

Is that your perception - that there is only belief in the spirit and material/ism?

What is the love between two atheists? Materialism?

So ignorance and misrepresentation makes you feel good? Explains much

Your mission is crystal clear to me. Just know I will remain permanently in opposition.

It's a vow.
