I was about to write that stuff I promised in June, but reading this tropic makes me so damn sad
so I am not going to add oil to the flames (that much).
From the above replies I can identify with milagros mostly.
Humans can adapt to anything, even death. Watching news every day with "who died today?" attitude is becoming pretty basic.
Considering believing/non-believing/atheism/religion/agnosticism, we really should define what means what. Plus I (as one of a few 'religious' people here) have to add that there is even more division in theism/gnosticism. If you just believe that 'god exists', it doesn't really make any difference. Pure belief in existence of some divine person doesn't have to affect your life in any way. Until you specify what kind of god it is and what will he do if you behave/misbehave etc.
To someone (Ruben?) here who said that God is evil and he doesn't want to be in heaven: You then have no idea what hell looks like.
And even if God was evil, then what? Who are you to say anything against him? You are just an ant under his foot and your life is totally under his control and he can do whatever he wants with you. So deal with it. Then you either believe that he wants the best for you, or you think he is evil. And thinking he is evil seems to me like being a kid in store who wants a lollipop and a parent won't buy him so the kid thinks his parent is evil; while the truth is that parent doesn't want his kid to have cavities or whatever.
Another thought on someone (madness?) saying that if we ban islam, we should ban christianity (and other religions) too:
I was like wtf when I read that. If you think it would be 'fair' and 'just' because 'equality' would be mainained, it's just plain stupid. If you apply this kind of policy everywhere, it would be total chaos and anarchy.
Two points made, I quote Aristotle: "Tolerance ('égalité everywhere!') and apathy ('meh, another 77 dead in Kabul') are the last virtues of a dying society."
Our society is dying, guys. What are we going to do with it apart from arguing with each other and whining?
