Author Topic: Close relative died.  (Read 8022 times)

anyone mention this

This is different.  This uncle gave him money and he's a spoiled little ass about losing this profit venue.

Oh wow, I hate it when people gloat being an Atheist over Christians. To say that all Christians believe God created the world in 7 days and flooded the world of the wicked is like saying every FPS game is stuffty because there's Call of Duty.

Yes, but how common is it to see a ten year old atheist? That's all I'm saying.
And judging by ingame footage of kids being dipstuffs, that's why I posted that.

And no, I'm not trying to create any kind of religion topic, but everyone keeps flaming ME because of it, then you guys blame ME for it even though YOU are the ones doing it.

Shazoo, get out please.

I was just born.
My parents were poor.
He never donated to us again, but it helped us in the long run.
So don't make me the selfish douche here like everyone else.

Extremely common. Your relative died. Stop making this topic about you.

You're trying to pin it on other people when the OP is what is causing issues.

Don't disrespect other people's, and we won't dis respect your lack of it. Don't act like a badass because you don't beleive in God, either. Don't say we're stupid because you can't understand the bible.

I have a feeling that youre only atheist because its the newest trend for kids to be atheist to seem cool

Yeah atheism is overrated. It makes less sense than religion as a whole

Reminds me of when I overheard some kid in middle school going on and on about it, the starting sentence being "I'm an atheist... which means... (bla bla bullstuff spanning in length longer than a vegan explaining why they're vegan)".

There is no reason for OP to be really bashful towards the people explaining why phrases such as "he's in a better place" can at least be somewhat lifting of the spirits.  A close relative passes, no one is going to say something like "well we all die some day whatever".  No, they say things like "he's in a better place" and such.  People naturally want to feel better, if they took the situation with a pessimist approach everyone would be even more miserable about the death (not that a death isn't something to be sad about).

it doesn't matter what religion you are, life is hard, everyone knows that. but we try to make it through, and your uncle's time came. it doesn't matter if heaven exists or not, he is in a better place and is finally at rest

A better place could be Germany too.
Germany has good engineers.
And beer.

I'm an atheist, and it's hard to live with the idea nothing happens afterward.
So that sucks yeah, nothing you can do about it. Changing your religion because it suits the situation better is just lying to yourself.
Which is dumb. It's the first reason religions came to be really, to soften the impact of unchangable events.
And to give the church colossal amounts of power.

and here we go. personally i am muslim but i am more open minded than most people, but what you are saying is pretty ignorant and is going to get you flamed in the long run. i am not saying your ideas are wrong, because no one can know what happens, but it isn't the best thing to do to call someone's belief's dumb. i'll admit, millions have died in the far past because of stuff like that, so just imagine what will happen online.

I'm not calling anyone's belief dumb, I'm calling switching beliefs because it's handier for you in the current situation dumb.
That just shows you have no dedication to your religion at all and are just in for benefits.
Such as holidays.
