I always thought that you'd sign up for classes that you know, actually helped you where you plan to head to in life.

i dont care about my life

It's just the whole, "we're sleeping together and don't believe we're going to Hell since we're not married," kind of issue.

That and we're not taking him mainly because my family has pretty much accepted the fact that he might be family to us soon. We're inviting him out of the kindness/friendliness and good will since my mom told me this is basically his Christmas/graduation present if he does come.

Those are the two issues, we got the financial stuff covered, we said that we'll pay for his entire trip the only thing he has to do is bring spending money, he can pay us back if he wants to. But those are the two issues at the moment that I am dealing with as long as the school he'll be student teaching will not start up fairly early.

Because last year, I was told they went back on January 3rd. Yikes!

Alright, well I dont know how this is going to work for you, it depends on the christian you are dealing with and political stance and what-not but the best advice I can offer is this:

Jesus never said that his people should force any belief upon others. Merely to preach and to try to show others the "truths" behind the Gospel. Jesus commands that his people "Do harm to no Man" and as such that includes harassing non believers or the unorthodox into following him or the laws of the bible.

In short, remind people that pester you about this, that even under Christianity you were given free will, and Christ's followers are supposed to respect your decisions and not bother you about your life decisions. It is disrespectful and against God's law in Christianity. Remind them that if they are christian, they should act like it and leave you be if you decide to go another way.

just wondering
why did u become an atheist?

Well I guess that's not entirely accurate, there are 4 different types of theism.

Nostic Atheist/Theist: Absolutely believes and considers it fact that there either is a God(s) or is no God(s)

Agnostic Atheist/Theist: Believe that there is/ is no god(s) but are open to the possibility they may be wrong.

I am an Agnostic Atheist. I do not believe there is a God or higher power, there is absolutely zero evidence to prove there is. However knowing for sure either way is beyond human technology. So if you want to be technical: I dont believe in god but strictly speaking, there is no way anyone could say one way or the other.

Why did I become Atheist? Well lets just say I left church because it was boring. Later I stopped being christian altogether simply because it was wrong, God was always contradicting himself and in a few ways here and there so was Jesus. Then I discovered Science and realized that all the gods out there are just made up. If there really is a God out there, it probably has better things to do than pay attention to a bunch of microbes on a speck of dust in the middle of nowhere. If It exists. We have no way of knowing it because it is simply that far beyond us as a species.

I try, the thing is you already know the rules and all, to constantly pester you about it is a sin, plain and simple. Try to be nice about it of course.

When it comes to religion I only debate it when thats the point of a topic. Otherwise I simply hold people to their beliefs. You either act like what you say you are or you do not.

i dont see how god or jesus ever contradicted himself

and also there may not be like a 100% to prove there is god

but I guess its just about having faith

and u said there is a god why would he care about people or earth i mean he made man he made the earth, i mean maybe he didnt just wanna sit there, what do u mean better things then wanting to spend time with his creations
just like a parent wants a relationship with their child which is like their creation, same thing with god, im not very good at analogies so idk

but anyways whatever
in the end really its up to everyone and what they want to believe
but i just cant accept that we are on this earth and living for no reason

on another note this week is kinda depressing
and also that was some good lasagna or lasagne i have no clue how to spell it im still hungry cause

IMA BEAST

Much more fun to live that way.

Believe me, I was a Christain myslef.

Are you serious

so im just here to fuck off and do whatever that just seems so empty
lifes not all about fun

So is it just me or is Icebaby's sig really wide?? Might be my phone but idk.

It's your phone.

I created it over a different signature that matched the required size.

Life isn't about obeying an invisible man either. Everyone chooses what their life is about. It's up to you, not some book; there will be fun, there will be work, everyone has a life like that, it's all about what you want out of it. I am also a Colbertheist for example.

I figured. Cause when I do get on my laptop it's centered or whatever.

I didn't say that. It's just more enjoyable to believe there's little consequences. You start to make choices you never would before. You experience things you were always to afraid to experience. More importantly, it makes you realize that the point to life is to believe there's a point to life. Because there is no point. Then you feel so smart it will make your head spin.
:]

No. It's ... veered to the right. At least on my laptop as well.

Exactly, and even if life had a point, the point would be to live, that's it.

When I became an Atheist the only thing I felt was freedom.

Yeah i dont care really i believe theres a purpose in life and a bigger meaning u could live by whatever standards u want but dont try and convince me to live your lifestyle

I believe when i die im goin somewhere
Im not a lazy thinker and i dont just live for myself cause at the end of the day it doesnt fucking matter how much fun you had
anyways lets not get too personal here because id rather not

If you don't care then why did you bring it up?

Describing my lifestyle when asked about it is not the same thing as trying to convince you to live as I do. I never said you should do this or that.

Becoming an Atheist requires thinking. Being religious only requires that you follow the thinking of the people (or if you prefer, "God") who wrote down your chosen belief system. (In this particular case the bible).

With a response like that one, I would say that you have already taken this personally yourself, don't look at me buddy.

I wasnt even talking to you man i was talking to totheark

And not to mention, it was brought up after you said you were an Atheist all due to a question you said you wouldn't mind answering because of your past views.

So, Undiscovered, you can't just throw out the whole, "I don't care," line because you did care, though because a conversation went into a direction you probably didn't want it to go into, you think it'll all end by saying those three words... Also to add, you did the same thing in of the the threads that you made. And becuase people went totally antsy, you said you didn't care anymore... Well, if you didn't care then why ask the question? People have different views of stuff and you can't get upset about it or whatever because they're views are different than yours... And that's totally what I'm seeing from you.

ok how much times do i have to say i wasnt even saying that to him i was saying it to totheark so chill out guys dont get defensive on me ur really overreacting and just assuming shit
