    I love existentialism.
    This whole year in litt classes we have studied texts through the existentialistic point of view - as if it wasn't my favourite class already, it then got 10 times better.

    If God gave us the gift of reason and the only logical conclusion we can reach with it is that there is no God and we must bring our own reason to the world, it's hardly our fault is it?

    God also gave us the gift of Faith, some have it, others haven't. I pray for those that haven't, its part of my Christian duty.

    Well if he only gave it to some people, he can hardly complain when some people don't believe now can he?

    Patronising it may be, but calm down on the insult, though after an hour of digital / analogue sounds I'm almost swearing at people in the office ;)

    Sorry, but I find it fairly insulting that some idiot thinks I need my soul saved. I don't, thanks.

    Nah, the gift of faith was given to people by a combination of a 2000+ yr-old compilation of heavily stylised and metaphorical accounts, and the telling of an ancient fairy-tale by their parents. The enlightened people lacking faith tend to get on fine through life without needing to believe in things for which there is zero objective evidence :p

    Some choose to ignore the gift, others grasp it with both hands, a bit like Life really.
    blagsta: Patronising twat.
    Oh blagsta, why are you so offensive? Never mind, as a Christian I forgive you.
    I'll pray for your soul.

    Both blagsta and ftp, you are in my prayers tonight. I hope tomorrow brings you another day of fulfilment and perhaps a kinder, more Christian take on people.

    Actually I don't want or need your prayers.

    I was quoting you.

    Sartre doubted the existence of God, but also described the lack of god as "embarassing" for humanity. "Hating" philosophical works on that basis is beyond foolish.

    Not that it matters, you're a wind-up anyway.

    Begging your pardon but that's rubbish. Either you have faith or you don't. It can't be a choice. I don't choose to believe that the sky is blue or the grass is green, that is merely how it appears to me.

    That the biblical God doesn't exist is of the same order to me as my belief that fairies don't exist (ie they might, but nothing I experience suggests that it is so).
