Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 I find it all a load of clap -trap too . And believing would not make any difference to the way I live my life anyway Most followers of religions do not IMO live particularly compassionate lives In fact most faiths IMO seem totally hypocritical. They never tell their followers not to eat/farm/vivisect/hunt/etc animals . Seems to me the followers are no better, and infact far worse ,than the people on here, many of whom aren't doing it because they have a belief that they will be rewarded in the " next life " I find it interesting that you speak of god as though its existence is a fact. I understand that this is your belief, but it is my belief that god is a fantasy figure that people made up because they don't like the idea that when they die they cease to exist. Simplistic - very, but I've not much time to be less so. However, if I were to post here that I believe that all this is baseless non- fact, I suspect that I would be pilloried. There does not seem to be a right to expression of non-belief. Just can't believe in something I can't see and for which there is no actual evidence).

I can't help thinking of the Hindus suing McD****ds for frying supposedly vegetarian stuff in beef fat. No self respecting ethical / health based vegetarian would ever have gone to McD****ds in the first place! BB Peter --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
