For proof they often rely on prophesy which is actually an after the fact conclusion. My late stepfather often said prophesy proved the bible and one of it's biggest proofs today is that Jews are coming back to Israel. What is it we are wanting to believe here and when did they leave?

Does anyone in here believe in reincarnation?

DenoPenno comments on Dec 21, 2020:

Pure bullshit! As far as any thinking person can determine there is no afterlife. BTW, people have stopped being "buried in the ground" for some time now. Usually you are embalmed and buried inside a concrete vault. This prevents any natural process like your friend wants to talk about. Eliminate this and go back 200 years, bury me by the old oak tree, and I am still not coming back "reincarnated." If parts of the tree and myself become one there is no consciousness involved.

I hate how people automatically assume that something drastic happened for you to be atheist : ...

DenoPenno comments on Dec 21, 2020:

The most common assumption made by the religious as to you being atheist is that "you must be angry at god." They have this conclusion because their book claims that everybody knows there is a god and that the rocks and trees themselves would cry out the existence of god if they could. This leads into the nonsense of "look at the trees" when others want to convince you of their god. In the movie God Is Dead we find that the atheist character is angry because god killed his father, or allowed him to die. At the end of this film a priest restores the dying atheist to the fold and solves the whole problem. The success of a second film of this type proves that such movies do make money. My long time religious friend must feel that I am angry with his god because I did not become the world's greatest evangelist. I tell others that it is because god did not bring me a pony. No, wait! That was Santa Claus.

What a vivid imagination.

What Kinda Funeral Do Atheist Have?

DenoPenno comments on Dec 20, 2020:

My funeral is going to be cremation. The biggest reason for this is that it is cheaper. My family will still have a big board of pics in the funeral home and they can talk about me and view the pics. This is often done even when you have a body in a casket. It's just that my body will not be there. I have run onto those who are upset by this and I point out to them that they believe in a god who created us from the dust of the earth. Very strange. I do have one request however. Make sure I am dead before you burn me up.

In the future at some point others will claim how the JW''s endured this til the end "because of their faith." If anyone in prison died this could go down as similar to the Abrahamic faith claim of how believers died "for their faith." A close examination shows it to not be the case at all.
