Don't dictate beliefs

I think we need to reexamine once again how L.D. Rue (atheist) promotes lying. In his view, atheists cannot live “without lies”:
“The Noble Lie”
“In 1991 L. D. Rue confronted the issue of absurdity and boldly advocated that man should deceive himself by means of a “Noble Lie” into believe that the universe still has value. By denying any objective teleology, self-fulfillment becomes radically privatized: each person chooses his own set of values and meaning.”
[What a disorderly world when they do that......]
continued:
“One has no choice but to embrace some Noble Lie that will inspire one to live beyond selfish interests. The Noble Lie “is one that deceives us, tricks us, and compels us beyond self-interest, beyond ego, beyond family, nation,[and] race.”“Without such lies, we cannot live.”
Rue’s Noble Lie does not appear to solve the notion of absurdity. Why should one sacrifice self-interest for a fiction? The Noble Lie is the greatest placebo that accomplishes its feat of illusion. Rue’s problem, as for anyone who constructs any Noble Lie, is that he values deeply personal fulfillment and wholeness. This would include objective values, which according to his philosophy do not exist. The Noble Lie option thus affirms what it denies and so refutes itself.”

[Mr. Rue's perspective is very representative of the typical atheist in this forum. LIES. Thank you Mr. Rue.....]

Poor Wimp-Lo once again demonstrates his gross dishonesty... Please note that in the beginning of the post, Wimp-lo states "I think we need to reexamine once again how L.D. Rue (atheist) promotes lying. In his view, atheists cannot live “without lies". At this point, Wimp-Lo is clearly stating that this is the opinion of a single person. The fact is, that L. D. Rue does not represent all atheists, nor are most atheists aware of who he is. One should look at the attempt to bind Mr. Rues' opinion to all atheists, even though the word "atheist" or any form of that word, fails to appear in the quoted text.
Wimp-Lo than goes on to make the unfounded/unsupported claim that "Mr. Rue's perspective is very representative of the typical atheist in this forum. LIES."

In addition, it should be noted that Mr. Rue is speaking of self deceprion, not "lies" as our uneducated Wimp-Lo asserts.

Don't let go of that mop Wimp-Lo, Cleaning up after others is the best you can ever expect to achieve. LOL!!!

You need to stop buying those economy brain cells; they are not your friend.
Once again we see how your vile religion cheapens your view of people.
You can't see it but there's plenty of respect - it's mutual and it's for friends.
That's all we need.

No one could cheapen you. You do it all by yourself - hypocrite that you are, pretending to go to a funeral out of respect – you know nothing of respect - writing about worms burrowing in and out of the eye sockets of your dead relative, when they aren't yet cold in the ground. What love. A dog has more respect than you. Being godless doesn't mean one has to be trash. You are trash, like the others in the forum. I have no doubt there are atheists somewhere who are decent acting, respectable people – none of the atheists who post in here qualify. If I did not believe in God, I couldn't imagine being as heartless as you when I lost someone in my family. It's been an enlightening experience to see you all of you for what you really are – because you're all in the same gutter. You all make good worm food, if the worms even want you, lol.

We're not finished looking at “eugenics”[see: Inbred Science]

“Those who have accepted evolution in the belief that it was not anti-Christian may well revise their conclusions…”—William Jennings Bryan, Menace of Darwinism.

“The influence primarily responsible for the modern eugenics movement was the establishment of the doctrine of organic evolution following the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species in 1859.”—Samuel J. Holmes, Human Genetics, ch.25 (1936).

“Mistaken regard for what are believed to be divine laws and sentimental belief in the sanctity of human life tend to prevent both the elimination of defective infants and the sterilization of such adults as are themselves of no value to the community.”—Madison Grant, The Passing of the Great Race.”

All the Darwin clan, their inter-marriages, and the Darwin ties to “eugenics”- found here:

Voltaire's desperation:

“History tells the story of the renowned atheist, Voltaire, one of the most aggressive antagonists of Christianity. He wrote many things to undermine the church, and once said of Jesus Christ,“Curse the wretch. In 20 years, Christianity will be no more. My single hand will destroy the edifice it took 12 apostles to rear.”

Needless to say, Voltaire was less than successful. And on his deathbed, a nurse who attended him was reported to have said,“For all the wealth in Europe, I would not see another atheist die.”

The physician, waiting up with Voltaire at his death, said that he cried out with utter desperation,“I am abandoned by God and man. I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six months of life. Then I shall go to hell and you will go with me, oh, Christ, oh, Jesus Christ!”

When I lived in the shelters I went for food. Of course they didn't care that I just mocked your god when I was asked about it, it doesn't matter, because that's how indoctrination works, they make you have to go. Most people were too weak, an eventually succumbed to the indoctrination of christianity. They're still living in the shelters to this day, I'm not.

Why would a rodent need to go to a shelter when they can eat from a gas station dumpster, or even a gutter?

As soon as you die, your vulture family will joke about worms burrowing in and out of your eye sockets. Atheist families show their love and respect that way, lol. And if you die in December, as soon as they dump your coffin in the ground and pile the dirt on, they will head off to church to sing Christmas carols.

It is difficult to get through your religious programming. But no "loving" god would invent hell. Hell is a fairy tale. It is completely imaginary, and a tactic to scare people into believing. This is why non-fundies try to make excuses for it and deny hell is a phsyical place.

See? I said there was plenty of mutual respect but his filthy religion blinds him to it.

I was right all along.

As we can plainly see, fundies like Derek are exceedingly gullible and easily suckered into believing any old BS.

Notice the hatefulness of the "true christian". Clearly the love of jebus has softend his heart, inspired him to love his fellow man, and has given him peace. Oh, wait, didn't jebus say "Verily I say, only love those who agree with thy beliefs, and "loathe" everyone else"? Wasn't that jebus? Maybe it was mohammad, or buddah, or vishnu..... Eh, they're all the same at the end of the day.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I guess belief in a myth doesn't help a hateful idiot like Wimp-Lo!!! LMAO!!

LOL!! Another example of the insecurity of the spinless godbot!!
My wife was agnostic when we met. LOL!!! That didn't last long!! A little logic and reason goes a long way!!!
I have to tell you all this one(you'll be so proud!). My oldest son is dating a young lady who was a 'go to church every sunday, raised christian from birth, bible thumper. She took great pride in her knowledge of the bible, and "loved jesus". Well, eventually, religion came up, and she was horrified to learn that my son was an atheist. So, he asked me what to do. I advised him to let me talk to her, so he did. That poor girl didn't stand a chance!! LOL!! It took a while, and quite a few talks, but she is now quesioning the very existance of jesus, and is mad at her folks for brainwashing her from birth to believe in such unfounded rubbish. She now considers herself agnostic, and is quickly approaching atheist. Yes, she still attends church because her parents make her go, but she now sees it as unbelievable, and primative. She is a smart girl. Reason and common sense free another ex-cultist.
I have found that the young people are much easier to help. They always have some fear, but it is much easier to get them past that, and they are more open-minded. I wish it was always as easy as this one, but I'll take em when I can!

I hope you don't mind if I butt into this forum. I have read a few of your posts and I can't quite figure out the general direction of this forum. Are you some kind of atheist missionary? For what purpose do you convince people that there is no god? How did you arrive at your conclusion that there is no God?
