I think he’s talking about his personal experience and not saying that you HAVE to be an atheist in order to have those things. I myself didn’t interpret it to say “this is a list of reasons why I’m better then you”, more as a response to the tons of comments directed against atheists like “atheists have no morals”, etc.
Of course there are almost as many atheist fanatics as there are religious ones, so I don’t know. Log in to see images!
if that’s what he meant, you have to admit that the sentence “No God means the possibility of less suffering in the future.” is at best very badly worded.
not to mention his ‘taking the step’ to decide to believe that there is definitely no god is just as illogical as people deciding that they do believe in god. I guess that doesn’t bother him because he believes atheism is a much preferable way of life, mainly because it allows one to be less judgemental, but that belief by itself is rather judgemental, don’t you think?
