re accepting jeesus in your heart in article athos rutgers edu jayne mmalt guild org jayne kulikauskas writes gsu uxa ecn bgu edu eric molas writes firstly i am an atheist i am not posting here as an immature flame start but rather to express an opinion to my intended audience deleted we are just animals we need sleep food and we reproduce and we die i don t meant to defend eric molas i find it somewhat annoying when someone pops up on alt atheism to tell us all about his usually atheistic beliefs so i can certainly see how christians might be annoyed but i d like to point out a few things i am glad that i am not an atheist it seems tragic that some people choose a meaningless existence no meaning from god is not the same as no meaning from my atheistic point of view if you want meaning in your life you get to go and get some or make some no free gifts of meaning i never quite understood how any god can just give your life meaning actually if he says you exists to do or be x that gives you a purpose if you care to accept it but is that the same thing but i digress how terrible to go on living only because one fears death more than life this would truely be a miserably existance which i doubt eric endures life can be enjoyable so you can live it because you like it or purposefull so you can live it to get something done one should endeavour to make it so if it is not otherwise it would be as you say terrible i feel so sorry for eric and yet any attempts to share my joy in life with him would be considered as further evidence of the infectious nature of christianity probably true remeber he almost certainly sees that particular joy as an illusion and does not want it so maybe it isn t so bad as a christian i am free to be a human person i think love choose and create as an atheist i am free to be a human person i think love choose and create i will live forever with god ah now here we begin to diverge i will not live forever with anyone i don t think you will either but you are welcome to your opinion on the matter christ is not a kind of drug i tend to agree with you it s my opinion that unlike drugs religions are normal parts of human societies i think they have outlived their usefullness but they are evidently quite ordinary normal things that haven t proved lethal to humanity yet drugs are a replacement for christ those who have an empty spot in the god shaped hole in their hearts must do something to ease the pain i have heard this claim quite a few times does anybody here know who first came up with the god shaped hole business this is why the most effective substance abuse recovery programs involve meeting peoples spiritual needs you might want to provide some evidence next time you make a claim like this thank you eric for your post it has helped me to appreciate how much god has blessed me i hope that you will someday have a more joy filled and abundant life i don t know eric but i do not think it is wise to assume he has a less joy filled and abundant life because he holds certain beliefs dan johnson and god said jeeze this is dull and it was dull genesis these opinions probably show what i know
