@msolga,
Now why should anyone thumb down a genuine attempt on my part to define my own working definition of aetheism?

If you disagree, argue with me. Feel free to.
Persuade me of a "better way", if you like.

But thumbing down a genuine attempt to define what aethesim means in my life, in a discussion like this, is cowardly.

@Francis,
Religious people make your life HELL ??? Really ??? That bad ??? Shame if you ever broke a nail.

I wish I was as tough as you to survive HELL on earth.....

@Ionus,
And I wish you'd add something positive to this discussion, Ionus.

You're sounding a wee bit hysterical.

@Ionus,
That's no sort of response to what I've said.

Can't you do better than that?

The prim, self-satisfied complacency here is a thing to behold.

You think all Atheists are peace loving flower children and I responded with the large number of Atheists making up prison populations. What sort of response do you think is appropriate if not pointing out the other side to the same coin ? Perhaps it would be more acceptable to you if I just said, "yes ma'am".

@msolga,
I repeat.
What why would anyone find this definition of aetheism problematic, or threatening, or feel the need to thumb it down in a discussion like this?

Quote:
Aetheism for me is faith in one's self.
This life is the one chance you get.
Whatever you do with this life is up to you. For good or otherwise.
No promises of "salvation" in any afterlife. We have to make our own meanings, resolve our own conflicts, right our own "wrongs" in this life.
So it kinda makes sense to live an ethical life, to be at peace with one's self, yes? Smile

What's that comment in response to, George?
It isn't clear from your post.

I was expressing wonder and astonishment at the degree of complacent certainty that some here claim to have achieved ... and doing so with a little snear.

@Francis,
In response to which comment of yours in particular, Francis?

Or perhaps George could explain that?
I'm simply not clear about what he's saying, in response to which post/s.
