have grown away from a selfish way of
thinking and tried to learn to put others before myself.
I have reasons to be a giver and to be honest. I have
reasons to not waist my life getting drunk and using drugs.
I have reasons to live a loving and moral life.
More power to you then. But don't forget that some of us may find other ways to lead honest fulfilling productive lives. ways that do not include faith...
My point is this:
What do you win if you are right? Might as well live with all
the gusto and self-indulgence you can cause when its over-
its over.
True, and I think I'll indulge myself with some honest and moral behaviour, just bacause that's what floats my boat, eventhough I have no faith to speak of.
PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN DARWIN: Either you die and thats it-
or when you die you get thrown into the lake of fire.
I fail to see a long term up side.
This is why I say "either way you lose."
That's a false dicotomy. There are other possibilities. What if there is a god out there that cares about intelectual integrity and which will save only those that did the right thing for the right reasons, but not those that did it for the wrong reasons (It might be reasonable to include the "fear of the lake of fire" in the second category, since it is ultimately a selfish reason to do something)
