I know what a contradiction is! But some of those questions didn't work - like Is Atheism Faith or Rationality? My answer is Both, but that wasn't there.

Atheism is Rationality. It may or may not include Faith. You don't need to have Faith to be an Atheist. Heck, I'd be super-glad if Zoroastrianism turned out to be correct and everyone got weighed by their moral actions dualistically

Now I really AM going to bed. I don't want to sleep on the keyboard.

G'night.

Sleep well!

I like Sandalwood, not the Mary Jane smelling kind.

This thread is addictive. Help me.

Hi, I'm Torm... I'm an addict.....

HI, TORM!

Hi "Torm!" I'm still awake. I see you've awoken. You sleepy people. We eidolons have no use for such things.

Sleep is simply a way to help the reaper catch up on me. And as an atheist, that's a really bad idea, since death is the worst thing that can possibly happen, worse than a thousand tortures

Because, to use the Forgotten Realms analogy, since I actually think all the world's religions are fake, even if I gave them lip service, they'd stick me in the Wall of the Faithless.

Following something you construe to be wrong just because you think it might give you perks if you turn out to be incorrect is a pretty awful reason to do it.

You'd actually be one of the False for that. The Faithless don't believe in any of the gods, not just "lip service".

And I agree there. Doing stuff for the wrong reasons is just wrong. It makes you out to be a liar. And a hypocrite. Better to have at least some reason to believe how you do.....
