THINKERS!
means:
Two Healthy Incomes, No Kids, Early Retirement

Religion is a gigantic fraud, causes numerous problems in the world, is anti-life, and an act of desperation by people conditioned by terror to not trust their own mind or instincts.

A message to the young people out there (especially guys): don't get trapped into having kids. Don't be a sucker. If a gal (or guy) that you date insists on breeding, cut 'em loose. I always did, and am extremely glad for it.
I am married, without children, and live according to the THINKER saying above: CHILDFREE and HAPPY!

To bad your parents didnâ??t feel the same wayâ?¦.

To bad your parents didnâ??t feel the same wayâ?¦.

That's a very popular comeback to the childfree stance, and the remark can be interpreted in various ways.

These times are very different times than the baby boom days. Back then, the average man could support a family consisting of his wife, a couple of kids, and himself. This is impossible today, for most families. The end result is that the families are burdened by having to provide TWO breadwinners, that still have even more responsibilities. In the cases of single parent households, it's harder than ever to survive.

Howdy FLESH,

Maybe I am being patronizing,but tell me this..are you a parent ? If you ain't a parent,then there's a whole side of Life that you are missing out on. Being a parent,requires one to learn selflessness and how to nurture others than just yerself.

Being a parent doesn't prove or disprove anything about one's character nor does it reinforce that one has life-experience, or that one has learned to be selfless. Not being a parent doesn't discredit one's worldliness, character or ability to be selfless either. I can offer numerous examples if needed...but you're smart enough I dont think thats necessary. Lemme know if it is, however.

I tell you what-I ain't never heard anyone say that they don't need God..because there are powerful human beings lookin out for em..I would never entrust my care to another human,I was raised to rely on myself and no one else..I would never fool myself into believeing for even a moment-that relying on an imperfect human..is ever a good thing.

Thats a really sad position my friend, Christian or not. Man is fallible, but man is capable and has proven itself as a species extremely capable of great things. You see this everyday. Right in front of your eyes, everyday, proof of man's greatness is all around you. And you openly reject the greatness of man out of some bizarre loyalty to your faith, like the 2 thoughts cant co-exist.
If you dont allow yourself to trust your fellow man, and to appreciate your fellow man, you have a lonely, miserable life ahead of you. Sure you have that whole superiority thing to nurture that ego of yours from time to time, but you'll be alone and people wont like you. People dont like not being appreciated, and you being as open as you are with your disrespect of your fellow man's ability is incredibly unappealing, and those who hear your vocal disrespect will think of you as a contemptuous fool not worth being around.

We all need God now more than ever..and He/She,is alive and well..and always will be..and so is Jesus Christ.

Ok.

I have no reason to fear death or satan,as long as I give myself to God and Jesus Christ..while I do fear the Wrath of God..I don't come to God,out of fear..I know that God loves me,just as God loves us all,including you..oh errant lamb..I trust God to take care of me..not some imperfect sinner..no matter how powerful they may be,they are nothing in the face of God's Power.

Have a good one ....

And, like it seems to always end up being the case, it all really just boils down to this:

"My mind is at ease now that Ive found the Lord. I dont have those unanswered questions that have plagued man for centuries tormenting me and inconveniencing me anymore!! I am content because I have put my faith in something that is easier for me to swallow than if I had not. If Im wrong, I got nothing to lose, I'll be dead and it wont matter anyway. As long as I dont have to think real hard or worry while Im on this planet, the effort put into a faith that might just be a bunch of hogwash will be more than worth the time spent as long as I dont have that incessant fear of the unknown bothering me from time to time.
Bonus: I get a sense of superiority over others! Rock on!!!"

Fear-motivated and self-serving.

I swear religions were tailor-made to appeal to man's deep desire to feel important. I find it so hilarious and almost predictable that even with the possibility that God, Jesus, and the whole bit are a lie - its easier for people to accept a lie than the dreaded alternative of not having an answer.

[meloncoly]

Melton420 if you insist on preaching your false gods, then we have a right to take the piss out of them. You are either under 15, or just a plain old inbred yank who believes anything he is told, as long as enough people say it
