Just admit it. You wouldn't be religious if there wasn't the carrot on a stick "reward" of an afterlife at the end of it. The majority of believers don't even practice their religions to the letter, only practicing parts that suit their selfish hope that their is an afterlife because the concept of nothing after death is too terrifying for their weak minds.

afterlife is dystopic its not a good thing if it exists
Just admit it. You wouldn't be an athiest if you weren't afraid of the stick "punishment" of Hell at the end of it.
The majority of athiests agree with religious moral systems, only disregarding them out of their selfish fear of an afterlife because the concept of something after life is too terrifying for their weak minds
Atheists don't believe in Hell. We hate when Christians who preach love and peace tell everyone outside their exclusive club they are going to Hell because they "hate" their imaginary friend.
>the concept of something after life is too terrifying for their weak minds
Yes, because a lake of fire is the borderline Lovecraftian.
It's okay to be afraid, anon
yeah you don't believe in it so much you have to shitfling with equally annoying christgays every day to prove it doesn't exist. get out of the over a decade dated new atheist phase and stop caring already like the rest of us, you're an embarrassment.
t. agnostic

> I’m not scared, I’m just going to plug my ears and pretend it doesn’t exist
> btw you just disappear after you die, and all your sins get erased cuz there won’t be anyone there to judge you
> phew, dodged a bullet on that one!
How is this not self serving?
Also, why do atheists assume !!!HELL!!! is the most ultimate worst place to be? It’s like they know that if they were practicing theists, their current lifestyle is depraved enough to earn them a non refundable ticket to the pit. I’m 99% sure that most theists think of “hell” as a distant hazard that can be easily avoided, not an immediate threat that they have to constantly think about and act upon. When I think of someone who has a paranoid fear of hell, it’s an actual schizophrenic person that then does some crazy shit to land them in hell
They don't believe in hell.
They want to disbelieve. They do this out of fear
No, they don't think it is even real. That would be like you being afraid of baba yaga, you aren't because she isn't real.
It's okay to be afraid, Anon, there's no shame in fear
If I was really afraid of hell, I'd just join the church and stop jerking off.
Or, you would suppress your thoughts of it
Why would I? You guys make it sound like your religion is some great sacrifice, but it's laughably easy. Literally the only habits I'd have to change would be to stop jerking off and to go to church.
Like I said, you're afraid. You know all you would have to do is live slightly different than you do now and you know you just can't do that. So it's better to pretend that there's nothing for now
I actually did just that for a good portion of my life, it wasn't very difficult. The reason I stopped wasn't that I "wanted to sin", but because I just didn't believe it anymore. If I dropped out because I wanted to be a degen, I wouldn't spend my Friday nights drawing still lifes and reading 19th century poetry, lmao.
The athiest is a liar? Color me shocked
I'm not lying, but you can tell yourself that and suppress the truth if it makes you feel better.
Sure you aren't
My favourite 18th century poet is John Keats, I'm a huge fanboy 🙂
I only started drawing last year, but I had some basics from learning as a teen. Before that, I usually spent my free time playing online chess or playing the guitar. I still do a bit of that now, but a lot of my time is taken up by drawing.
*19th century ofc. He started writing young, but not that young.
You sound like a goodboy, anon, I'll put in a good word for you. Maybe athiests aren't so evil after all
I appreciate the thought, anon. If only we could all get along.
>Just admit it. You wouldn't be an athiest if you weren't afraid of the stick "punishment" of Hell at the end of it.

Lol
>fear of an afterlife because the concept of something after life is too terrifying for their weak minds
The idea of an afterlife is comforting; the lack of it isn't.
more and more i'm coming to realize the guy who made that post was right. caring is a big burden tbh.
Your argument is completely nonsensical. If atheists actually believed in Hell then they would become Christian out of fear. If someone says with no evidence that you’re going to get stabbed at a certain location tomorrow and you believe it, you would avoid that location. You wouldn’t go there while pretending to ignore what they said.
The first step is literally denial
You think I wouldn't like to live believing I won't be punished for hedonism? I wish
Nothingness after death is terrifying or rather terrifyingly baseless, that is why no one believes in it.
Oh. So religion is a cope. Got it.
He literally said the opposite, take your meds
No he didn't. Seethe
>terrifyingly baseless, that is why no one believes in it
Learn to read and get off the internet, it's a school night
You know theres an entire sub continent of buddhists and hindus who all believe in reincarnation?
Admit you don't like religion because you just wanna be a hedonist and you'll feel better
Why do atheists consistently make the worst threads?
Their distance from God
They never give a good alternative to the teachings of Christ
To be religious means that you want the answer to the question "Who Am I?".
>To be religious means that you want the answer to the question "Who Am I?".
and that you gave up trying to answer that question because it was too much work
uh, yeah, you'd be a complete sucker to be a christian if the ressurection is bullshit.
it'd be like being an atheist who still slavishly conforms to social expectations despite having no enforcement mechanism, complete slavery of the soul.
I would. Religion protects from the depredations of the israelite. That is all that it needs from me.
I used to be a Christian, and was very much into it. I can honestly say that the reward was not a motivation. It was just a desire to be part of the force against the degeneracy of the word. To be on the side of good.
Religions are meant to explain reality without scientific analysis not cope about some reward dimension.
Atheism is moronic and agnosticism is even more moronic so no
What about Jehovans? Only the annointed 144000 get to heaven.
And? You're saying you're smarter than God? That would make you God, and thus the problem starts all over again - people would have to worship you in the hopes that they would get the carrot on the stick reward of an afterlife. You say "No, I don't want to be worshipped!" But you admit, that if you are smarter than God you must also be God! And if people cannot worship you, they will just go back to worshipping the former God.
>Just admit it.
The christian god isn't real. I'm smarter than the people behind abrahamism and the christian god.
You wouldn't be here if you were
proofs that "nothing" exists?
Actually I'm uncertain of the afterlife, but what I do know is religious people have happier, longer, more prosperous lives and a lot of that comes from the traditions, values, and social bond associated with religion. I'm pretty sure this is what pisses of athiests like you so much. That in the end regardless of whether religion is right about the afterlife it's right about the mortal life.
