Pathetic...

On Ray's blog, alphageek asked the fundies if they had ever tried to imagine that the bible was not true, God did not exist, etc. Gisela's response to the question was rather pathetic and reveals the fragilest of minds:

Yes sir, I have tried to imagine this. I honestly have. Your question: what does it feel like to me?

To me, it feels devastatingly pointless. I can't understand how I can live, and love, and appreciate beauty, and then just be gone. The futility of life in such a scenario feels horrid to me, particularly now that I have a husband and children.

I think I would be too chicken to kill myself, but I would find a way to destroy myself while living. (such as drinking every night to escape thinking)

Everything I would plan, or attempt to do, in life, would be colored by the ever-nagging thought "but I'm going to die anyway".

Plus, in the scenario of imagining there's no God, truthfully, I can't wrap my mind around "where did all of this come from?"

I wonder how she reacted when she found out Santa Claus was fake?

Wrong again

Comments like this from fundies are another reason why I, even when I wasn't banned, never posted over at AC after the strike started.

Mr. Robert Madwell said "Of course, that could be another lie! Foolish atheists! Why can't we stop lying? Oh yeah, that's because that's what we do!"

Dear Mr. Madwell, please understand that you CAN'T stop lying unless you have Jesus Christ. You are a slave to sin, if you "tried" to stop lying you would not be able to. Please, give it a try, don't lie, you can see how lying is bad, how it hurts people but you cannot stop doing it because sin(lying) makes you it's slave. Freedom is not doing what you want to do, but freedom in Chirst is having the power to do what you should. Read Romans 7 and understand that you are a slave to sin, you DO NOT CONTROL your sins, but your sins control and direct you. I pray that you will see that you need Christ, because once you have made HIM your LORD and Savior HE gives you the power to be free from your sin so that you don't have to serve them, you can serve Christ! "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2"

Uh....no. I can not even remember the last lie I told. Not even the last white lie I told. Ever since I was a young kid, due to some very negative experiences I had in my home life, I have made it a policy not to lie. I don't have to try not do it, I just don't do it. It's not who I am or who I want to be. And I'm still an atheist.

I realize that it's easier to believe someone is damned, and all the other horrid things fundies think about atheists, if you believe erroneous, demonizing things such as this, but please THINK before you type. Anyone with any common sense would know that the claim made in the above comment is just ignorant bunk.
