"You'll convert"..."You'll see on your death bed how real god is" " Sooner or later you will need god and turn to him".........all projections that we all submit to a imaginary will in the long run is a very false premonition.
I have faith that there is no god. The same faith that believers share I share in their being no god. No I will not submit and yes if offered "god" can blow me as well.
Like gays who hear jokes, you have to have a "sense of humor" and not wear your heart on your sleeve. Gays can take it offensive. and so cant believers and non-believer alike. Many non believer find it offensive to actually speak of a "god"....
I suppose I could lie to myself in the sake of peoples feelings and try to fake respect for "god" and his believers. However, I just dont simply have it nor feel it. I have tried, but in the long run I have found that I am lying to myself. So if you think you can demand respect, be happy with what you got. Religion deserves no respect, in fact it needs to be abused so that people will stop thinking faith transcends rational thinking. After all its a low level of rational thinking one must have to actual believe in such foolish rubbish. Reason is the very thing that causes religious account. Faith transcends religion the way a criminal transcends the law. Faith does not transcend reason, it side steps it.
Submission and Obedience. Faith is the grip that clergy have over you. Its a dead end word. Its a word of bondage to have you travel down a guided road for the benefit of others and not yourself. Its a word that lets you believe what your HAVE BEEN TOLD TO BELIEVE, without actually feeling anything you believe, and you can all stop pretending anytime you would like because this world can't withstand much more chaos that has descended upon its inhabitants in the name of faith or religion. THUS why every non believer has every right to be offend by the simple and mere discussion of "god".....So you say respect.....I say....religion and its followers are not worthy of respect.
