How are we hurting your feelings? You can think it sucks to live ones life trying to disprove something that by its own definition cannot be fully understood but how is that directed toward atheists? Atheists don't claim god(s) are disproved, they claim god(s) are unproved.

This coming from a person who came to a discussion board full of atheists and started a thread titled "Athiesm sucks." And couldn't even be bothered to spell it properly.

I think your basic error is in thinking that atheist skepticism impedes peak experiences. Not so! No one has to believe in gods to have or appreciate a peak experience.

On first thought, I couldn't resist but utter a big HAHAHAHAHA to this. On second thought, I think I understand your mindset. You're like those fundachristians whose feelings are hurt by the VERY EXISTENCE of unbelievers. Not to believe in Jesus?! How can one?! What gall!

Why is that Christians argue GOD cannot be understood, but yet they want us to understand Him? What kind of mentality 2 billion of these people have nowadays?

Hubert is the light and the way of my life. What about you, rubbercok?

Jesus is the way, the truth and the light for me. How about you?
I don't know Jesus. And I believe millions of people before Christ didn't know him, and yet they were able to live a meaningful lives.
Aristotle said that the saddest thing is to live the life in vain. Socrates said that the life unexamined is not worth living. Each person were able to draw up a meaningful life without the knowledge of the truth, the way and the life.

But it is true what you say, the Atheist life is meaningless. The man who takes on atheism will suddenly realize a life without meaning; a life without hope. But you know why we do it?
Because it's the truth. Because it's liberating.

When have you heard of directives from God himself, Rubbock?

I hazard that the answer is NO. You've been taking words from his so-called messenger, i.e. priests and the likes.

And yet you know of their crimes, and it still doesn't bother you that God probably has not spoken to them; in the same way, that he has not spoken to you.

Have you ever stop to wonder that this could all probably be just a hoax?

Speak for yourself.

My life has a very real sense of meaning and hope, but not of the theistic variety.
