Woops – my apologies – I see the comments are back. I think this campaign is great – it will get people talking and discussing and searching for truth. Too many people believe without questioning. Questioning is important. It will lead to answers and to the ultimate truth. The fact that you are willing to spend so much money on placing these banners on busses shows that you are driven by this quest also – how important it is to question these things. To search. To learn everything. To live fully. Bravo.

Now they are trying to separate us by bringing up our differences… we should stay together and be united…

I guess I’m a-Theist also.

Tom – unfortunately we are all hypocrites.
We all say one thing and do another. We all lie. It is the human nature.
Unless you are perfect. But maybe you are. I know I’m working on it.

Richard,

In a way I find that many atheists are closer to the things Jesus taught than are most “so -called” Christians. What did He say ? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your MIND. If God is the Great Creator, Love Creation. Love your neighbor as yourself, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If we all lived this way there would be no problems. Use your MIND, your heart and your soul to love all of creation. God is in that stone. You too are that same God. Now they are sure to crucify me. Peace.

Tom,

Have you read Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite ?
This is the darkness I seek. I believe you are already there.
Your thoughts are also very close to Meister Eckhart.
You have found all you need.
Enjoy.

Offgrid – I can live with your point of view because it appreciates life and does not preach.

The only difference appears to be our belief in what comes after. You appear to have faith that there is something undefined afterwards, whereas I don,t see any evidence for that, hence I cannot reject the null hypothesis…oblivion.

Oblivion does not scare me because if that is what awaits me, I will have no knowledge of it. It also tells me that I should try to make the most of my time as a conscious, sentient being.

I think that we have far more in common than not and I welcome your open inquiry because that, in and of itself, demonstrates that you are not under the thumb of dogma.

Time to stop worrying and enjoy life, rather than fret about what comes after because there is only one way to find out….and it doesn’t come from a 2000 year old book.
