Well I don't believe in eternity for example... everything has an end.
Now doesn't this make sense? Some people need to believe in something, some don't, or rather they need to believe in different things... There was a time when I believed in Literature and that sort of saved my life but now I'm not even really sure about that so nevermind, but everyone has his/her own path to follow...Quote:

I do not think nor feel that atheism or agnosticism is stupid nor do I wish that you would suddenly start believing in God. You should never be forced to convert and give up your belief that there is no God. You do appear arrogant at times and that was not meant to offend in fact I do not mind a little arrogance. In my heart I know there is a higher being and just wish you would not try to convince me to change my beliefs. If I missed interpreted you do forgive me.Quote:

Indeed Koa, some people considered books as their escape..means to keep their mind healty...; some (whom I coincedently know) volunteered in social works on weekend, where from Monday to Friday, they act like a true "capitalists", making profit as huge as they can. These charity acts, for them, are ways to maintain their "humanity sides.Quote:

Since you implied believing in god is one's own problem it gave me the impression you want everyone to not believe in a higher being. I do not consider it to be a problem. However I am curious to what the word weltanschauung means. I never heard of the word. You may mock me all you want in the end I decide on how your words affect me. There was a time I did not believe in a higher being and one point questioned how could a higher being let me go through a horrific ordeal. Answer: He did not man's free will did and in order to stop horrible things from happening would not have made me whom I am today. You may say all you like because you are young yet and have much to learn as do I about the world around us. Just because the human eye did not see it does not mean it was not ever there. I do not know about you but what is over looked by others I strive to see beyond the small limitations of closed minds.Quote:

Thanks for defining it for me I do appreciate that. :)Quote:

I knew without a doubt she would lose it and there are things I still know without a doubt without seeing them until they come true. You tell me sir how is it possible for me know something before seeing, hearing, or experiencing it? I surly cannot and it happens to me and I am sane.Quote:

Do you have a sense of humor? You seem well read, did you pay attention?
