PORNOGRAPHY

why is it that most religions condemn the basest of instincts? that everything that is good is shunned in favor of self-restrict, sacrifice and asceticism?

from avarice, to sexual pleasures, to gluttony, and many more.. many religions kill the aspect of "self" in order to gain control over it's people..

What good is there if we're going against the law of the Ultimate Good ---- God.

the ultimate good is "self".. self is the beginning and the end for any other pursuits, aims, or goals.. morals and altruism are but a means to an entirely selfish end.

in the direst of situations... you are mugged and about to be slain by your attacker. for some sheer chance of luck you grad ahold of a knife (but so as is your attacker). will you kill to save yourself or obey the 10 commandments?

i know you will not fail the test.. in the hardest times, you will choose self among many others ^_^

Therefore the God is yourself. Same reason why Lucifer looked otherwise.

It's a foregone conclusion regarding protecting oneself from imminent danger. Having done that does not make one guilty of killing as meant in the 10 C.

Maybe the solution would be to saturate the people more with such materials. Let's not repress them. Eventually the people would then refrain from thinking about such stuff as a 'big deal'. I think the problem stems from the repression.

Look at European countries, who have Naturist Camps and Nudist Colonies. So far these countries end up being more peaceful.

That's because for the 'believers', the life next after this one is more important. That's basically how it is.

Bagay na bagay lang to sa Gospel kahapon e. Puro ako, akin..lahat. Hangal! ngayong gabi ay babawian ka ng buhay.


Dude, we will not stop you with your belief but let me remind you, that even the mores of our society will tell you what is right and wrong in terms of self greed. You eat too much, you suffer health problems.

(but so as is your attacker). will you kill to save yourself or obey the
10 commandments?"


With this statement you seem to imply that we Christians don't defend and value our lives. That's a very lame analogy. Only because of the 10 commandments you caught us that we have no choice but to let ourselves be killed with the attacker. If you can't run and save your life, then it is most likely here to "fight" for your life. You concluded the situation in your unrealistic point of view. And btw, if you don't value life, as most anti-theism do when they can't define the essence of life, then it would be very acceptable to you to just waste life. So, you kill.

you cant put it any other way.. you ended someone else's life even in the same of self-preservation.

as for me being a god for myself.. please dont confuse the word "priority" with the word "god". i just value myself more than anything else ^_^

selfishness is the highest virtue - ayn rand ^_^

you are right.. i only have one life and id be glad to die content with worldly pleasures than invest in some mumbo-jumbo you call the afterlife ^_^

the closest idea i can think of the afterlife for us atheists is that when we die.. we return back to what we once were... we too are stardust ^_^

sakundes wrote:well said kuya harby ^_^

but as for me.. live life without regrets.. without fear of damnation and the afterlife ^_^

Sandaling kaligayahan habangbuhay na pagsisisihan.

do any of you guys have real proof that there's a paradise? you cant even tell me which one is real as all of you have your own versions. the catholics have their heaven, the jews have their new jerusalem and eden, the moslems have their 70 virgin biatches (im rooting for islam mind you lols), the buddhist have nirvana.

now, do i get to pick one or only one of these given is right?

Kung anuman ang sinasabi ng tinutukoy mo patungkol sa Paraiso ay nangangahulugan lamang na mayroon ngang paraiso at siguradong nagkakaisa rin na mayroon din impiyerno.

Ang tao ay mayroon patutunguhan kapag sila ay namatay, ikaw ba alam mo ba kung kailan ka mamamatay at kung mamamatay kaba ay alam mo kung saan pupunta ang espiritu/kaluluwa mo?
