The population of most countries want to see assisted dying for people close to death, so they will not suffer in pain. Who is opposed to this? Religious leaders, they remember their predecessors raping, torturing men, women, and children and then burned at the stake for being witches. or accusing them of heresy and drowning them. Hanging people for blasphemy. Yes, they still want people to suffer before death... |

Atheism has a certain appeal that religion lacks. Many theists claim that "Jesus completes them" or "they're filled with the spirit," I've tried that once or twice. I didn't feel a thing. My peers admonished me for being inable to feel the presence of the holy spirit and take euphoria in it. Oddly enough, as soon as I left Christianity, I felt an invigoration I've never felt before. Individuality, freedom, purpose, it was narcotic and intoxicating. I was fighting a war with God, and I was winning. |

The 9/11 hijackers are in hell... the victims in heaven! Unless you agree with Al Qaeda, in which case the hijackers are in heaven and the victims in hell! Unless you're an atheist, in which case all of them are simply dead victims of stupidity. |
