Sure, eternal life would be nice but I certainly do not believe that if an eternal life exists that it is only attainable for a select few. Your other categories are pure prejudice and that is something that I try to avoid

Now, now...you are the one who went to the Atheist site. You can't complain that there are Atheists there.

Close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears all you want. You've already read what DBT wrote and you won't be able to help thinking about it. He's just done you more good than all you enlightened writers

I'm sorry you feel that way--but it is a discussion forum and we are all free to put our views on the line.

Which means our ideas or beliefs can be put under scrutiny.

Hey,I may be wrong.
And if someone thinks that I am, they are more than welcome to point any flaws in reasoning... with no hard feelings on my part.

How does a belief in God relate to the desire for a "good life with those around us?"

Prejudice? ....how so?
