"Maybe you should reevaluate your stance as far as religion goes."
That's funny to hear from a Mormon (yeah, I checked OUT your profile). Mormonism is a SHAM if ever there was one. The Book of Mormon has got "charlatan" written ALL over it. Joseph Smith was a fraud, and you gullible sheeple actually believe all his immoral B.S. You're truly pathetic.
"But if you believe that there is no God, if you honestly believe that you are nothing but bones connected by tendons held in a sack of skin with a few organs scrunched up in it"
Quite ironic given the fact you speak about "being respectful" on your profile. Laughable. You DO make some very good points about life not always being 100% logical, and the tendency to believe in a God being very strong however, for which I thank you. In general you sound very judgmental and self-righteous though.

How is that funny to hear from a Mormon? I am telling him that he might need to reevaluate his stance on religion. Maybe his beliefs are more pantheistic, maybe he likes what the Hindu religion has to offer, but if he is an atheist and he is having these feelings, then he needs to reevaluate where he is spiritually. I have done this and I found that I like the concepts that the Mormon church and Zen Buddhism have to offer. I hold the roots of my faith within the Mormon church as my official religion of practice, but I also hold the teachings of the Dao, Siddhartha Guatama (the Buddha), Confuscious and some of Mohammed's teachings with very much reverence. I enjoy all of the religions, but my walk of life makes the Mormon religion my preferred religion of practice. I'm not saying we should all convert to Mormonism, even though my church takes that stance. I'm probably going to remove that from my profile as well, if my own personal religion is going to continue to be used as a basis of attack for my arguments.
I have my own personal beliefs and standards. I don't expect others to hold the same ones.
"Quite ironic given the fact you speak about "being respectful" on your profile. "
I don't understand, how was I being disrespectful? I suggested to him that he reevaluate his spiritual stance. I'm surprised my comment offended anyone, but I was being respectful. That doesn't mean absolutely no one will be offended. That just means that I'm not going to purposefully attack anyone. Can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.
I'm not ignorant of all of the controversy that comes with the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
There is controversy involved with every religious practice.
I prefer to draw on the lessons of the Bible and Book of Mormon rather than the actual historical facts and the corruption behind it, I take my own lessons as my life proceeds and I constantly compare and contrast them with lessons of other religious to seek out the truest truth in said lessons.
Don't worry about me, man. I know what I'm doing here.
Is it normal to fear going to Hell even when you're an atheist?

Good job attacking someone for practicing a religion you don't believe in.
I feel like in this day and age, we should all be above attacking people for practicing certain religions, but no... no, we still do that.
FYI, it's atheists like you who make all the other atheists look bad.
