Alright, this is sort of in response to Podo's (monster's) "feeble attempt" thread.
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of any god whatsoever. Any questions? ![]() |

It really depends on the people surrounding you. If you live in a city, for example, it's not likely you will deal with people that hate you for being an atheist because it's a lot more common in a city. If you live where Nate and I live, in a small town in Indiana, it's more likely that people will dislike you and avoid even speaking to you unless it's insulting you solely for your atheist beliefs. The more people, the more indifference toward difference. Small towns are a breeding ground for sheepism. I know where you are coming from, I live in a small town in Ohio and I know I get treated differently sometimes for being an atheist. Even in my own family. How should you ... and we live our lives? i'm somewhat tired of relying powerful being to help me ... and always praying. are you successful? I know this wasn't directed towards me but I feel that I can help you. I am very successful. You don't need to pray or believe in God for great things to happen to you. Rather than putting all your faith in someone you don't know is there put all your faith in yourself. If you are smart enough to question the things around you, you are smart enough to do almost anything you really put your mind to. Live your life like you did before treat people kindly, do what your parents tell you to do, get good grades in school, work hard. Be a good person, being an atheist is no excuse whatsoever to be an a-hole. |

But I am not held up to any standards though, so if I feel like killing off a human race because it is "beneficial" to the human population, would that be alright? |
