Do You Prefer Fact Or Fiction?
285 Answers
After 55 years on this earth I prefer fact.
As much as it pains me, as much as it upsets me, I prefer facts over faith.
A few weeks ago I was nearly suicidal. Still prefer facts to 'faith'. If I had ended my life then, I would have been dead, end off, no atheist in foxhole here.
Just dont understand this religious preoccupation with living forever....
I honesty just dont get it?
What the hell are you going to to FOREVER?
It would be like watching a game of football that went on forever...there wouldnt be a point,

The 'First Cause' seems to be anti-pork, anti-shell fish, anti-wearing garments made of 2 different materials,
And yet pro stoning rebellious teenagers to death, pro ordering rape victims made to marry their rapists, pro genocide.
Just never heard this stuff preached as a christian.
Cant think why not.
Its Biblical right?

Sorry that you recently felt so low nailit. All of us on here are so glad that you didn’t carry out what you contemplated.
AB wldnt be the same without your contentiousness !
In response to your orig post tho .... I don’t think all Christians (or any religion) are “preoccupied”. With living forever.
I seldom think about it ... altho I do believe in eternal life in heaven / hell after death.
For me it’s just a nice comforting thought in the back of my mind.

Good for you. You dont think about what the Bible says.
That those you love, who are unbelievers, are burning in hell?
Its a pretty nasty doctrine. You may want to disscuss it with your pastor.
//For me it’s just a nice comforting thought in the back of my mind//
Yeah. It is.
I like to think that I can wake up and speak to my mum again like I have done for the past few years.
It isnt going to happen though and I have to get used to it.
Still a nice comforting thought. Doesnt make it true though.

I don’t ever dwell on that ....///
Why not?
How on Earth could I be 'happy' in heaven knowing that my loved ones are burning in hell?
How could I be happy seeing my mum and dad been tortured in an everlasting inferno while I am i sort of 'paradise'?
Sick, to say the least...

Nailit; I think you're tormenting yourself because you have a human conscience and you care about others and about what intellectual integrity means. Don't beat yourself up about it. The religious here seem to be either oblivious to any doubt and not willing to accept doubt from others, or too easily comforted to want to think about any other view that might make them uncomfortable. They both should be treated with understanding; after all, life is a difficult place to be. Nailit, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Unlike the religionist,
I see my life as a speck in time and totally meaningless.
My life, like yours and millions of others, means nothing in the great scheme of things.
The universe doesnt care about you anymore than it cares about the fish that you ate recently.
Its only human vanity that believes otherwise.

Nailit, and I expect your son would prefer that you didn't top yourself. If your dad topped himself that might mean he might do the same if he thinks he is a chip off the old block. You being strong will inspire him to be strong.
Set a good example.
Excuse me for intruding into your private realm that only you understands.

This is desperately sad, totally bleak and nihilistic as well as being completely untrue.
All lives matter! Your life is of infinite value to God and what you do with it matters.
One of the biggest lies any person can be told is their life is meaningless. Dont believe that garbage. Have hope and turn towards the light.
