To me fire and brimstone has more to do with cooking and chemistry than it does with what happens to you after death.

To look at life like Voltaire, Suetonius, R. A. Wilson and Bukowski. And Eco to an extent. But most of all Diogenes -

"In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face."

“What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.”

I shit on your beliefs. But only because your beliefs deserve shitting on. Your fault, not mine.

We are happy because we are free to show contempt.

The source is a song by the rock band Trouper. I went to school with some of the guys in the band when I was growing up in beautiful British Columbia.

i agree...I don't have to go to church and listen to their same old shit week after week,year after year.
i can do what I want on Sunday..I don't have to throw money at a church. No man in the sky watching me and taking notes.
No heaven or hell to worry about...And I can think for myself.

I don't have an iron age Jiminy Cricket on my shoulder judging everything I do.

I don't have to worry about sin, I can think about ethics instead.

Dogma does not prevent me from reducing suffering.

Fun can be guiltless if it's harmless.

I know my time here is precious so I don't waste it.

I'm free to be responsible for my actions.

You can have more money by not supporting churches, charities, missions, drives, restorations, tithing - get the gist?

You get to make jokes about all religions, not just the ones you don't belong to.

how bout a reverse pacal's wage

If their is a god you get to die and forced to worship him day and night forever in heaven but dont worry your "evil" will be gone and you wont know any better and thats all you wanna do.....FOREVER and EVER and EVER.................................,
But if they is no god you just wasted your whole life so far on a false belief about a non-exsitent god,
If you give up your silly notion of a god you may finally start to learn more stuff, make some difference in the world and finally start enjoying your life much more for a change because you realise its the only one you got and how lucky you are to be alive in the first place.


-probally needs to be shorten but hey this is an athiest version of a pascal's wager and we dont do it half ass without any thought put into it!!!
