Thoughts of a Dying Atheist

He is not atheist.<br /> <br /> However, more recently Bellamy has shown signs of being an Agnostic or a Deist. In an interview with a Rock Music channel in France (2006), Bellamy states, "I believe in the God of the universe, definitely." In addition, he revealed in a 2007 video inverview that, "I don't believe in heaven or hell, I don't really believe in that version" [watch]. Bellamy's beliefs are therefore probably closer to the philosophical concept of "The Absolute" as opposed to the structures of organized religions.

Yup, I agree with you. But what if there is a Hell? Then we burn forever while maggots crawl in our skin. And that would happen to atheists if God really exists. And I think He does. Even though I wish he didn't, so that way there's a guarantee that I won't go anywhere because there won't be an afterlife. Maybe you might call that being selfish because then you'd be I'd Heaven for the good guys if my wish comes true. And the sad part is if God doesn't exist, and we just disappear when we die, life has no meaning. It's worthless - you get born, live your life, and die. It makes no difference whether you existed or not. Because when the people who love you die too, who cares who you are? It's not as if everyone in the world's gonna be great and famous someday.

typo: not "you'd be I'd", it's actually "you'd be ruining"<br /> <br /> haha XD so sorry

@icedragon713 life has no meaning if we simply live our life?? Perhaps the whole meaning of life is living (I definitely hope the meaning of life is NOT spending eternity in heaven or hell ... where you are 'dead').

@icedragon713 So you aren't an atheist. To me it sounds like(not making an accusation just piecing together the pieces I have) that you were a believer but had a bad experience that made you hate and not want to believe in God. Let me tell you, bad experiences aren't Gods fault, it's Satan's. He wants you to turn away from God and he will do whatever he can to make it happen. Also if you believe He is real and are scared of Hell, why not want to believe? If God is real(which he is) then everyone that doesn't believe in Him or doesn't want to believe in Him well go to Hell and spend eternity suffering, but if there isn't a God and it's just poof gone when we die, then believers will meet the same fate as non-believers. So either way believers will be fine, non-believers however may not be.

exactly, well put.

What if reason, to me, happens to be religion?

What reason do you have? Your reason is artificial without religion... It's impossible for science to give a why. <br /> <br /> Science it the study of how. How the sun shines, how the gravity works, how plants create oxygen from carbon dioxide, etc. <br /> <br /> Religion give a why. Why the sun shines, why we have gravity, etc. <br /> <br /> Without religion, you only have randomness creating the universe. Randomness has not concience, no meaning, no purpose. These three things are required in order to create reason. To create purpose. <br /> <br /> With that said, I find the odds too close to impossible for randomness to have created the systems on earth. Such things HAD to have been made through conscience. Through randomness, the ecosystem to support three forms of life(aquatic, plant, oxygen breathing creatures). We have a sun that is created to give life as well, did randomness happen to predict the perfect location to place the sun? Or to have the planets rotate to keep a perfect environment of hot and cold. Or a moon and stars so that we aren't completely blind at night? <br /> <br /> Furthermore, religion gives people a permanent purpose. While atheism is a temporary purpose. And that is why this atheist if freaking out at his death bed... After his life is over, he has nothing.

Wow! That's really an impressive amount of stupid you presented, but I suppose the most intriguing thing you assert is that religion explains gravity. I know that the Bible teaches all sorts of scientific facts like every continent was submerged in water at the same time, plants existed before there was a sun, goats can have their genetics altered by looking at streaked rods, rabbits chew cud, and that giraffes predate rainbows. I must have missed my Sunday science lesson where God, being the racist asshole that he is, informs his chosen people that the Earth is pulling on them at all times. Better yet, where the fuck does God explain that the sun is always pulling on the Earth in a similar fashion? What's God's reasoning on creating this gravity thing anyhow? Is he afraid everyone will just float on in to heaven without an invitation, or some sick shit?

There are Atheists, Christians, black, white people, and that's what makes this earth a beautiful, colorful, interesting planet! <3 The deepest beauty is respect to each other. <br /> People who don't believe in God must have some reasons... and those who practice a religion, it's a matter of faith and what it does to them.

It could be about other 'ends.' I have one in mind and it's coming shortly.

Hardly. Christians are capable of empathy, you realize.

@bmx3r101 Yes FistMountain is correct. If you are atheist(praying for you) then it makes complete sense why you would get the hell scared out of you about dying, to you that's just it. However it's not, I can't control what you believe but the only person I want to see stay in Hell for all of eternity is Lucifer himself, and all his devils. Now I know not every person in the world will be saved but it is the mission of Christians to disciple as many people as we can and lead people to The Lord God.

@jneumann1 Dude I never would've thought of it that way. There is one thing I'm not fully understanding from your analysis, is it the believer or the Atheist that's dying? Because both would make sense, if it was the Atheist then the believer would be scared that they will never see them again.
