POLL: Is belief in God due to a failed search for meaning in life and fear of death?

Quote from stu:

The opposite of a physical world is not a spiritual (metaphysical?) world.
The opposite of a world is not another world of any sort.

Using that commonsensical thinking, how come the opposite of a physical world is not a non physical non existence?

How come you have the opposite of life (death) one minute, then you have it as something which sounds like another sort of life (spiritual /metaphysical ) and not opposite the next?

You have a physical world then you still have a spiritual world as the opposite.

An enormous amount of wishful thinking doesn't make opposites, does it.

Who said anything about wishful thinking? I'm not wishing my theory to be right, simply stating what I observe.

I don't know what you're getting at with your post, well actually I do, but I'm not part of you're "is a dick a dick, or dick a prick" crowd, that will argue the relevant points of toenail clippings.

You can use all the semantics you want but the opposite of black is white and the opposite of life is death.

What about Neanderthals? Did they get to go to heaven or hell? Completely different species from us. Somewhat similar design and they buried their dead, but yet, not human.

Good question.

the only difference between an atheist and a believer (Christian, Muslim, doesn't really matter) is the denial of yet another god. Christians believe in only one god, and dismiss all the others.

atheists just dismiss that one other god as well.

you bring up a great point when you arrive at the point of believing in a god how do you disbelieve another supernatural god?

Que the peanut gallery.

Number 1, why would I be pissed? My days of getting upset because of comments on a message board ended a long, long time ago when I realized how idiotic it was.

Number 2, how am I engaging in wordplay when I give the exact definition of the meaning (relative to me) behind my words?

Number 3, being called a fool from a pinheaded needledick is just so enlightening. Thanks.

So what's your beef.
I'm simply stating that what you are simply stating is obviously bullshit.

You want to start an internet beef, so be it. I've got all day to pollute this thread in my replies to you... so lets go.
