I know I'm gonna get hate for posting this but I think you guys should know what the bible say about the truth.
Wait, so if I don't believe in God, I live a truthless life?

Ugh. Marx couldn't have been more right when he said "Religion is the opium of the masses." You only need a coping mechanism until the problem is solved, guys.
(I don't hate organised religion, it's just the "facts" have no evidence to back them up and it irks me that so many billions of people believe in what is essentially fairy tales over hard scientific evidence)
Whether you are an Athiest or of faith, having a sad worthless life is your fault and no one else's.
For the Athiest, it is fully on you to make something of yourself and to give life meaning.
For those of faith, "God helps those who help themselves." Saying "it's in God's hands," is a cheap and lazy cop-out.
Get up, take control, take action, take responsibility and DO something about it.
May He work through your actions.
really how in any way shape or form does turning to nothing make life non meaningless. Your lack of knowledge of religion is evident in the fact that my religion teaches that we must act first and god will help us when we help ourselves.

Our life is nonmeaningless because us Atheists don't have to waste our time devoted to some hopeless book
what is it for then huh? What is the deeper meaning if everything turns to dust nothing matters not your work not your life nothing. How is life even worth living with all the pain and crap you go through. Religion is the only thing that even keeps me sane.

There is no "deeper meaning". My work(when I get to it) will matter cause I'll leave something behind for my future family. My life will mean something to everyone I know and love. Life is worth living because I have dreams, aspirations, hopes. Just because I don't believe in some book doesn't mean I am worthless.
The way i look at it is when the world burns up we wont just become nothing my family me and everyone who has ever lived will not just become some fart in time and space. Religion allows me to believe that everything i do here will have a higher and deeper meaning that this universe has in a sense a happy ending. That is the only thing that can ever keep me going i just cant see why people would not want to at least take a chance for something better

Such empty and weak hope is not something I desire.
I have hope we can get to other planets before Earth gets owned.
the funny part is if you are right it wont matter because we will all cease to exist but if im right me and you are gonna be in the afterlife together and you gonna know im right. So it is a win win for me so suck it

Not believing in god doesn't make him any less real. After death you still have to suffer the consequences of life on earth without jesus christ as your savior. (I'm trying really hard here not to sound like a crazy judgemental christian). Also just because you don't believe in god, it doesn't mean you should insult someone else's religion this is FUNsubstance after all so lets all get along. :)
lol you really have no clue i donate one day to jesus and i just follow his commandments which btw keep me from things like smoking drinking and sex all which have negative physical impacts.

Sex has negative impacts?
Yeah, constant sex can kill a guy, but seriously?
So you're going to stay a virgin just because you're at risk of getting a disease?
I get that STD's suck dick, but sex is a healthy part of adult life.
depends how many kids she wants to have. The real reason is because of morals but yeah that is a pretty big benefit i think. Considering that aids can really ruin your life forever.

Not trying to ruin your dreams, but sex is an integral part of your relationship.
Whether you like it or not, your wife is gonna get in the mood, and if you push it off too many times, your marriage won't be the only thing that'll be fucked.
lol that is funny because apparently marriage relies on more than just sex seeing as my family have a strong bond even without it so does my neighbors my brothers and sisters have all made it that way. I doubt I will be the exception. The secret is that it is pretty easy to avoid it when you are happy because you got the knowledge to know that a little bit of sex will pale in comparison to the life after. I know for you it is impossible to imagine god but for people like me who have sought him for months on end it is a truth that will never be stripped.

First, I didn't say it was the biggest part or your relationship. I just said it was a large(size varies on person to person, marriage to marriage) part of it. Second, You're not clear in your second sentence. Are you saying that you have to have sex in ALL of your relationships, outside of romantic ones? Finally, I love how you used imagine, in choice of better words more suited to your argument, like 'see', or perceive. Makes you sound like you don't believe in 'Him'.
Side note: Use some goddamn punctuation and capitalization, or do you depend on God for the true answer on that too?
Ok. I will use punctuation. I know that you try to insult me or look for the slightest error in what I say to avoid what the true meaning of what I said was, but ok. Btw was that your whole reply? To just pick at my grammar and then use an insult near the end? I find it hilarious that you dont even have a real argument for me to reply to. Now in what way does me telling you that plenty of people have made it by avoiding sex and that i doubt I wont be able to do it to sound unclear? Next time you reply make sure you actually have an argument that makes sense and is actually about the argument this isn't the election.

I just wanted you to be clear with your points, and use punctuation so I can clearly understand your points. I wasn't even trying to start a whole 'nother fire over you not using English correctly.
With that, I must turn to your comment where I had to find your actual argument in a ocean of half-assed insults. In what it sounds unclear is that you compared your familial relations to your romantic ones.
Ok. Let me ask you what did I just say near the very end of my paragraph?

'Next time you reply make sure you actually have an argument that makes sense and is actually about the argument this isn't the election.'
Alright, I saw my mistake there, but you have yet to come back to my statement made at the end.
Alright I will write what I previously wrote but more clear. Marriage relies on more than just sex. My family has a strong bond without sex and so do my neighbors, brother, and sisters. They have all made their relationship work without sex. I think that I will be able to do it since so many people that I know already have done it. The reason why they can do this is because they are just as happy with the knowledge they have received from god as the people who have constant sex. In a sense God and the Scriptures replace sex. I know that it is hard for you to even begin to think of something like a god but for people like me who have asked and searched for a long time it is almost impossible not to.

Sero has no chill lol
Yet you have to devote your entire life and almost action you do for 'Him'.

Best of luck with that.

Now can we stop? This entire thing has been cluttering my notifications.
I agree with you and think that what you're doing is great!
