However, it is atheists who would reject the possibility of humans enjoying Maggots as their staple diet the most. I think they like to understand that the world cannot be rigorous without anxiety being different evey time of emotional customs like "the Will to Power". Amanda; is she for real, or a Faggot?

I’m an atheist! Want some maggots?� is possibly not the best pick-up line ever invented.</i> Well now! THAT explains a lot. Thanks for the tip! :-) Very enjoyably related, Amanda. “Hi!

You claimed that your view was not a fact. It was no more right or wrong than Ira's, because it's your own convention - you made your view up (or adopted it from someone else) then placed that view/interpretation over your life. Why can't the theist do the same? You put that interpretation over your life not because it's true, but for your own personal reasons (it makes life seem alittle better, maybe easier, happier...whatever). If there is no meaning or purpose inherent to the universe, why not be just as happy with the theist who found her own personal meaning to superimpose over life? Why feel the need to introduce them to your view of atheism (life being sweeter)? You stated that your view is not really a fact but a personal convention, you believe or think the universe has no meaning or purpose written into it, then why care about the view that Sally the theist has regarding the meaning of her life? Hi Amanda,

I shall correct the art imitating life only in other Life which I can seize. But why does an atheist have feel that that the belief be involved in that Life for its existence (like once I said it does it really had to for the purpose of rejecting OR accepting mystery)?

However, I'm also pretty sure that I never said my interpretation of the purpose or purposeless was correct while Ira's was incorrect. What I did say, is that a conversation that puts forward "ways to find positive meaning" rather than "ways in which your body will be eaten by maggots" is certainly likely to go over better as an initial introduction to atheism. If you've had a great deal of success introducing theists to atheism using lines involving maggots, please share. However, in my encounters, I've found that being nice, smiley, and palatable goes a lot farther. Gatsby,

It's just something you superimposed over your life. If life has no inherent meaning then one can give it whatever meaning they wish. No one is more right or wrong than anyone else, Ira's nihilistic interpretation is on par with yours. Why does your "life's sweeter" interpretation carry anymore weight than Ira's? “I explained how the lack of an afterlife just makes life sweeter”

My own paternal geneology is largely French, although I was born in England. My maternal line hails from Spanish &#38; Portugese pirates (I'm not kidding!), some of whom gave up on piracy in order to marry English girls from the Sussex coast (facing the English channel), whence my mother. And here I am, all these years later, in Scotland! Regarding music, and an instrument to play, thanks for the encouragement to do so, but I've arrived at the conclusion that the world is probably a nicer place to inhabit all the time I stay off learning to make noises other than those I'm already stuck with. I really don't dislike anyone enough to inflict my attempts at music-making upon them ~ thanks all the same. Stephen. Hi Sarge,

I tried some, too, and it really wasn't too bad. But sharing helped me out of a tight spot. PS Yes, they did eat the cheese. I tried some, too, and it really wasn’t too bad.
