butterflyl1on:I think the fact that our life is limited is what makes it valuable i.e we should make sure we live well, eat well,treat people fairly etc. I am not against ending it all when one is unable to bear existence. |

pesty100: Your entire comments on this thread about what your worldview perceives about the world is all bleak and colourless. (maybe you should go through all your comments again and assess them) this makes your worldview a hopeless one QED. You are a lazy and selfish atheist and it's no insult. After all your worldview declared that your world is full of the same. Why do you foresee cancer and amputations on behalf of someone who hasn't been born yet? What is the ratio of people with limb amputations and cancer in the world compared to the population of the entire world? Are you an amputee? Do you have cancer? Did anybody in your family die from it? To be honest your excuses are ridiculous and anyone reading this would see it. 1 Like 1 Share |

butterflyl1on:If you choose your purpose based on belief how then is It selfless since you are doing it to satisfy your desire to please God? And not because you empathise with the plight of another person. If you worldview as you claimed offer those to the world at the price of being untrue why then should I be obligated to believe a lie. 3 Likes |

butterflyl1on: How has my worldveiw declared that atheists are selfish and lazy people? If viewing the world objectivity and in a realistic fashion leads it to being bleak and colourless. How is it the fault of atheism? |

pesty100: You are saying two conflicting things. You say LIFE IS VALUABLE yet you say you would not hesitate to end it all if it becomes unbearable This means life indeed isn't valuable to you. It's not it's limited nature that makes it valuable and if indeed this limitation makes it valuable why then do you see only pain, selfishness and suicide in it? Is taking life more valuable than keeping life? You just said taking life (suicide) is more valuable than life itself (under certain conditions). My worldview says that there is no condition that should be more valuable than life. Suicide is never an option even when all is seemingly unbearable. You are still declaring the hopelessness in atheism for all to see Sciencewatch, kingebukasblog, felixomor you need to read this with me o. My eyes have seen my ears. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

pesty100: My worldview is meant to please God who isn't earthly but man who is earthly is the one to physically reap the produce. (do you get it now?) My desire to please others is what is known as selflessness . If I had said I desire to please myself then I would be selfish. I hope you have not forgotten the definition of selflessness and selfishness selflessness noun concern more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own. selfishness noun the quality or state of being selfish; lack of consideration for other people. Which of these two definitions matches my comment below Damn right I chose my job purpose, I can choose my wife (that's another purpose). I can choose my car or kind of apartment (that's another purpose) but here lies the difference between you and I. I do not choose these various purposes for selfish reasons. I choose them for sake of helping in my own way to make this world a much better place, to help someone, to bring joy to someone and to use it to preach my Jesus who is the catalyst for all hope, joy, faith, love, peace, kindness, goodness etc which are all ways of seasoning this world which you claim is selfish, chaotic and full of pain. Can you see selfishness in the above quote? Compare it with both definitions and correct your error. 1 Like 1 Share |

pesty100: What evidence have you gotten to declare there is no god? I asked you if you are omniscient? Have you been everywhere known and unknown to arrive at this position. Evidence in this case is meant to be sought and gotten by you. So how has your omniscience been able to arrive at such a conclussion when you are clearly limited as a human as you have kept repeating? 1 Like 1 Share |

pesty100: Hope is a reality. It's an inbuilt mechanism in all beings. It's not a deliberate construct of ours. we have nothing to do about it. IT JUST IS! it can be magnified or lessened but nevertheless, IT IS! so if you somehow got someone pregnant you would immediately seek for an abortion since you do not want to take this risk. 1 Like 1 Share |

butterflyl1on:How is life being valuable in conflict with ending life when it's too painful?? When have i said that the only thing I find in life is pain and selfishness? I merely acknowledged the existence of both. Am not saying in essence that only pain and selfishness exist. I acknowledge that pleasure and self fulfillment exists also. Are you saying someone under really excruciating pain should be allowed to stay alive to feel excruciating pain when they have consented to death even when we know that their situation is terminal? 1 Like 1 Share |

pesty100: Is God earthly? Check the definition of selflessness and selfishness Pleasing others often comes at a cost to you as a person. It is not always pleasant or pleasurable but when we still go ahead and please others despite these uncomfortable position then are we selfless. The definition of selflessness does not say you do not consider yourself what it says is that YOU CONSIDER OTHERS ABOVE YOURS. This means when compared, you often CHOOSE others above yours.

Re: Why People Are Atheists? by butterflyl1on: 10:49am On Jan 10, 2018 |
pesty100: You are the one trying to twist things. Pleasing others ISNT ALWAYS meant to please you. It can and indeed will displease you often. You can please others and still be angry at them same second. Hate their ways, feel disgusted. All these are not pleasurable to you but regardless of how you feel you still help them, give to them, etc. This is what selflessness is and if anyone told you that being selfless guarantees you pleasure then that person is misleading you. |

Aren't you guys arguing partly from a faulty premise that 'religion', is this case Christianity is the opposite of 'Atheism'? Well, I understand that Atheism is a stance, just like Theism. cc. butterflyl1on , pesty100 what's up with these insectivorous names |

butterflyl1on:Wow, you have brought me to me knees Sir. I feel inspired to let go of my own highly flawed scientific thinking and bow to the awesome magnificence of what Jesus is offering to all those that come closer. You have wisely highlighted the incredible difference between an Atheists choice and your choice. Atheists won't be able to understand what I am going to say to you now; Butterfly1on Sir, You are the salt of the earth. You are the head and not the tail. Atheists are the tail. The spirits rule our lives both from the Dark side and the Light. You Sir, are from the Light because your ideas can only come from that Light, if it was merely mental agreement, it would not have the force I witness in you. SALUTE !! 1 Like |
