Non-Believers

[naomi24]

We've had 'Why do Christians believe?' so let's put the boot on the other foot and ask 'Why do non-believers disbelieve?' I imagine there could be a lot of one line answers here, but a little explanation would be good.

[naomi24]

Mmmm. Errr. What'du shay? Not shure if it's gin or Merlot - but if you're pouring jusht a small one for me Luna ol' chap. Thass my boy!

[luna-tic]

I can talk, I engaged in some vino last night and woke up speaking in tongues. :0)

[naomi24]

Haaaaaaa!!! Shame Mani wasn't around - at least someone would have known what you were talking about even if you had no idea yourself!

[Theland]

Oh yes, I'd love to be able to meet up for a drink. Only Methodists, I believe, shun alcohol.
So I'm sure that Wizaed at least, along with Naomi and Luna are not Methodists.

[naomi24]

Theland, can't think what you mean!

[Theland]

Naomi - You are I believe a worshipper of the grape! Good on yer.

[luna-tic]

I think after a few bottles, we'll admit to being any religion you like.

[Theland]

All round to your place then Luna?

[naomi24]

Theland, ahhh, the grape. The wonders of nature!!

What a great thread this is, well doen to all contributors.

My reasons are very simple, it's a complete lack of evidence, it's "blind" faith, it's the arrogance of every religion in the belief that theirs is correct and all others are wrong, it's the conflict and terrible suffering relision causes, it's the picking and choosing of which bits of the bible people wish to believe and the amount of sheer nastiness in the bible. The God described by christians is a violent, jealous *******.

To sum it up, "It's all Pish".

Oh and the fact that men have nipples proves there was no intelligent designer. What the hell are they for? If there is a designer, he's a bit cack. And what's with midges? What do they do except **** everybody off?

hehe

[naomi24]

Hello Jollygreen, you ought to make your questions here into main questions. They might make for some good conversation.

[luna-tic]

Just think, in the days a midge has life on this planet, they may see everything around them moving really slowly so their time in existence to us is very quick.
We measure our relevance with nothing because some humans only see our being as the most important.
Midges still get on your nerves though.
