Whoever came up with Jesus's character knew that humanity needs love to have hope and to not despair.

It was God Anoushik

I meant whatever human person, or group of people, the founders of the church, etc...

An atheist is a pragmatist most often. There is your answer to the bickering about love.

[Nakharar]

I don't believe in true love, but I hope it exists. Does that make me an agnostic or what? Those who believe in true love unknowingly accept that there is such a thing as circumstance of fate or "divine intervention". How about that Anoushik?

Anoushik, listen to Armen, he knows what he is talking about Seriously.

Experience showed me this is untrue, it may be true in your cases, but the majority of atheists I have frequented are not pragmatists. I would rather say, agnostics are most often pragmatists.

Amen to that brother! Agnosticism is the thinking man's religion.

How does he know?

He just knows.

I just know.

Agnosticism and multiversism are not religions, atheism is.

All above are variations of feeling cool

You are a wise man I was looking for a proper word for such things but could not find. "Feeling cool" describes it the best. Sort of a "superior" way of competing with "stupid" religions.

[Armen]

Sasun jan, but they can say the same about us unless we keep it to ourselves Don't know ... What do you think. Do we want to feel cool as well?

Armen jan, I see your point. It may look like feeling cool if one just keeps talking and talking, perhaps we are doing that same wrong thing. But being truly spritual or religious is neither easy nor cool, unlike what some bogus theories will tell.

We could also think about it in terms of constant search vs stagnation. We all know that our body and emotions exist and we explore them all the time. We are not sure if the spirit exists. However, we sould never stop exploring the possibility of its existence.

One note about athesim. It is one of the states of mind one needs to expore the existence of God. If you can realy meditate and picture the real atheist world in your imagination it will be very easy to find the sub-conscious contrast, The God. In other words if you pacify your thoughts to the point where you find the absolute nothingness the idea of "God alive" becomes more and more evident.

I am numbed ... by repression of passion.

Eve, Nazism is a passion too. Killing emotionally is not that much different from killing physically. Passion has a scale and once you get tired of one stage you move to another. It amplifies all the time. You will get tired of one man, than you will get tired of two men, than a group of men, than you will get tired of stick and carrot and move to a girl. And you will get tired of her too ... Pray to die at that moment not to move to the other steps...

I don't understand.
