Atheists... Your life is pointless

Couldn't have stated it better myself! Thumbs up.

Someone please define "progressing humanity" to me please??

... sublimation is a mature type of defence mechanism where socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are consciously transformed into socially acceptable actions or behaviour, possibly converting the initial impulse in the long term.

What spenbullshitouses realy said......

The religiouse can't define anything Spade. The just use jargon and labels in an abstract manner which one has to presume impresses the sort of social company they are habitually used to.

Like actresses use spotlights and suchlike. The " THE GOD" belief produces an inevitable circularity in that all conclusions derive from the premiss begun with. In MY case particularly, the circle is so small you could touch your PENIS and put your NOSE around it. Not that you would of course

Why should I? It's your imagination at work that will define it in your own subjective way. I didn't use those words, so why are you asking me to define it? Define it yourself!

many atheists on here actually care about "progressing humanity"

It's been proven through research that "praying for others do not work."

Working in a large medical center like Mayo, Mr. Marek said, "You hear tons of stories about the power of prayer, and I don't doubt them."

In the study, the researchers monitored 1,802 patients at six hospitals who received coronary bypass surgery, in which doctors reroute circulation around a clogged vein or artery.

The patients were broken into three groups. Two were prayed for; the third was not. Half the patients who received the prayers were told that they were being prayed for; half were told that they might or might not receive prayers.

The researchers asked the members of three congregations — St. Paul's Monastery in St. Paul; the Community of Teresian Carmelites in Worcester, Mass.; and Silent Unity, a Missouri prayer ministry near Kansas City — to deliver the prayers, using the patients' first names and the first initials of their last names.

The congregations were told that they could pray in their own ways, but they were instructed to include the phrase, "for a successful surgery with a quick, healthy recovery and no complications."

Analyzing complications in the 30 days after the operations, the researchers found no differences between those patients who were prayed for and those who were not.

In another of the study's findings, a significantly higher number of the patients who knew that they were being prayed for — 59 percent — suffered complications, compared with 51 percent of those who were uncertain. The authors left open the possibility that this was a chance finding. But they said that being aware of the strangers' prayers also may have caused some of the patients a kind of performance anxiety.
