No... I don't believe you do agree with kier... not my place to go any further on that.
Steve, you sound like those nutcases that I tell to piss off on Sunday mornings. No matter how hard I try to say that we are trying to sleep in, they still manage to twists and distort everything. You're one of the creepy people.
I say that 'Man created god, God didn't create Man.'... and you say, 'But the Bible says...etc'
I say, 'Leave me to my own point of view' ... and you say, 'Oh no... can't have that, the bible etc...'
The most telling part of your argument came with this:
Willow: There is no greaterrelease than accepting that death brings freedom. The mind goes dead... the body decays and is returned to the earth.
There is nothingelse except for the life you have left behind... this beingour greatest legacy.
Canadian Steve: If I thought that was true, I would think life was ultimately hopeless and pointless. The idea that there is something after death gives life hope and meaning, IMO.
'IMO' or IN MY OPINION' ... the most truthful thing you've said.
Listen mate, if I was governed by a 'higher power', I wouldn't be true to myself. You seem to think that by being a good person in life gives you the keys to heaven while Ibelieve that we should be decent to each other regardless of what the church says.
I think that by leaving behind a better world, we have done our best. By being simply 'decent', life is not pointless... I feel sorry for anyone who feels the need for an afterlife and without it, all things are pointless and hopeless. I don't mean to be patronising, it just seems to me that we have better things to do then to worry about some god and the contradictions that come with it.
Anyway mate, you're entiltled to your opinion... just be sure not to knock on my door.

)and I expect the same in return. Either way, people will make up their own mind.
