danot Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 By human, I mean you and I, and the other 8 billion of us. We are the result of 5 billion years of evolution. Nothing can compare to us. Yes, we are more than deserving of our own self praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Well they aren't going to be upset at you if/when you aren't and if it gives them some comfort in this life, then where's the harm. When they find out it is a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 When they find out it is a lie. You seem to have some deep seated problems here old pal. Father Christmas always came to our house, as did the tooth fairy. My children, and grandchildren also benefited and benefit from these benevolent people. Non of them despise me or my wife as wicked liars, and neither do I despise my parents (god rest their souls). It is a happy part of growing up, and a good thing to pass on.

Making children believe that they, you and everyone they love(well, at least those that believe in god)will all meet again in heaven after death isn't make believe.. it's an untruth.

Anna B Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Surely nobody really knows what happens after death? Life (and possibly death) consists of far more than the nuts and bolts of what you can see and touch. I am becoming more and more dismayed at the preponderance of this approach to the World.

I know that we will meet up again in the afterlife, not in our present forms, but as part of the godhead. Prove me wrong. You are the liar, giving children no hope, and pushing on the idea they are only here to work for the man, until they die in oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making the claims, you are, So you prove it. Claiming something is true to another, without having any credible evidence is lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danot Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 By the way artisan, I don't mean any offence to you or your beliefs. I'm merely here to discuss as my beliefs happen to differ, so please don't take offence:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not me, but you that is claiming truth. You say that it is truth that only oblivion lies ahead. That there is no future. You prove that to me. For you are wrong.

Indeed there may be far more to life(possibly death)than we can see and touch, Although I fail to see how we(humans)are at the centre of it all. We(humans)are ultimately responsible for the reproduction of any additional "human life". We(humans)are on occasions responsible for many, many premature ends to "human life". We are nothing special, we merely possess the concious desire to arrogantly believe that we are something special. Special above all others.
