It's almost always the same thing. Irreligion = atheism most of the time. It's all godless.

Perhaps we value meaningful life more.

The above, ladies and gentlemen, is an example of warm, happy thoughts that lurk in the minds of fundies.

I love how religious fanatics like to twist motives of those they oppose around.
I think the groups you refer to believe in the right to die, not belief in or pro suicide.
Same goes for abortion - nobody is pro abortion and thinks its some great idea, instead they are pro choice because they feel the right over one's body is more important than the death of an unborn fetus.
What we really have are opposing groups who view personal freedom over oneself differently, not good/evil, or black/white as religious fanatics love to frame the debate.

What an amazing coincidence! I see a ton of folks who will spend their lives here on earth believing in man-made myths, concepts, and explanations for all manner of things FOR WHICH THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE. Some use that belief as a protective shield, some as a "get out of jail free" card, some so they don't have to think for themselves, some to threaten others with fire, brimstone and eternal damnation (you appear to live in that camp?)... and some/all are just wasting their time.

Funny how we can look at the same situation differently, isn't it?

I doubt they will be damned to hell, but rather in a place with like minded people. Beats ending up in a place full of uptight, judgemental evangelists.

No, I'm talking about the fact that atheists lead all belief groups in suicides per capita. I think it's because we all have gods, and their 'gods' are alcohol, drugs, and self-gratification, all of which lead to or are signs of depression. Not happiness.

So the idea that these atheists are high on this life is bogus.

What a crock. I've never taken drugs (but know many christians who have) and don't drink (but my family -- who was made up of strict catholics and methodists -- had a number of alcoholics). How the heck do you know which group -- christians or atheists -- masturbate the most?
