		<description>Interesting idea.  And if anyone takes the time to actually read his auction perhaps they&#039;ll learn from this 22 year old.  He admits he has &quot;atheistic beliefs&quot;.  Huh? Sounds like he admits to a form of religion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway at leat HE still has an open mind.........&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From visiting this site for the past 6 months, it&#039;s amazing and sad at the same time how many on here have given up.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As I&#039;ve said.  Atheism is a very sad way to look at life..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Dave, I doubt anyone on here would have the courage this young man has.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, where are those cartoons?</description>

		<description>Phred:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Killer Moslem Cartoons&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s on the Blogroll, and has been for a while.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;As I&#039;ve said. Atheism is a very sad way to look at life..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Might as well enjoy what I&#039;ve got while I&#039;ve got it.  Knowing the notes that make up music doesn&#039;t detract from the magic of the symphony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
vs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I don&#039;t serve the LORD I&#039;ll burn in a lake of fire forever!  Help me!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you said anything more than that for the past two months?  At any rate, get something intelligent to say, or go away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which means: Go away, as you have yet to demostrate the ability to do the former.</description>

		<description>phreedm: &quot;Atheism is a very sad way to look at life..&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Atheism has lots of advantages, no money wasted on funeral directors, sunday mornings we are free to do what we want, no money wasted supporting preachers, no fear of hell, the joys of understanding science, no talking to ourselves (praying), no worries about spending eternity playing the harp, etc.</description>

		<description>phreedm&quot; As I&#039;ve said. Atheism is a very sad way to look at life..&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It might not offer the false hope and warm fuzzy feelings that religious belief does but it also doesn&#039;t advocate bigotry and violence in service to your god nor does it require that one stop thinking.  Religious belief to me is pathetic because it uses fear of eternal damnation to keep a person in line.  Fuck that-I&#039;ve only got one life to live and I&#039;m not going to waste it cowering in fear at some imaginary punishment.  What kind of sad life is that?  &lt;br /&gt;
Alex.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>hey, if we (all atheists) did the same thing, we could probably collect enough money from religious groups to support a lot of the activities and fight causes that we would all like to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
gotta give the kid credit for being a good capitalist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PS: hey phreedm. give it up. you are a bore and a laughing stock.</description>

		<description>Atheism isn&#039;t a sad way of looking at life. Pinning your hopes on pie in the sky is sad.</description>
