I am done banging my head against your beliefs, Flesh. As long as knowing there isn't an after life for you makes you less responsible for things you may have done.

ON the contrary. You don't understand atheism because you haven't put much thought into it. I don't care what hapens after I die because, um, I'm dead. I take responsibility for what I do here and now. I suffer the consequences in the present. I live my life in the present. I don't lok to get brownie points with a man upstairs so that I could have an eternal life after I die.

It seems you hinting at ethics and morality, and in that discussion let me point out that to you that religion is not the only way to ethics and morality. If we were to live according to the rules in the Bible, for example, we would stoning adulteresses, heretics and people who work on the Sabbath, not to mention homosexuals.... But we read that today and know that that is not the correct way to morality and ethics. How do we know that? Because we have another, deeper set of ethics and morality above and beyond the Bible or the Qur'an. Just another hint that Bible and its ilk are completely obsolete.
