First of all neither Herpes nor Chlamydia will kill you. Chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics as well. And as long as you're not planning on changing partners it shouldn't be a problem for your sex life either regarding Herpes. I wouldn't like to be in your shoes though. And what is this with AIDS all about? If neither your gf nor your previous sex partners have had the HIV virus then there was no chance whatsoever that you would catch it. HIV isn't a virus that evolves from another STD.

As for the religious aspect, I don't know what to believe any more, and frankly, I don't give a damn either. I'm not afraid to die, I don't need to believe in anything, and pondering on existential questions is useless, cos you'll never have any definite answers regardless. So I'll just live my life and see how it goes. Till then religious people's guess are as good as anyone else's on what we are here for, who created us etc.

imo life is over-rated...many ppl. live lives that really arent worth living...i know i would never wanna live their lives...and i dont even know if i'd really wanna live even past 25 or so...i just dont see the point in it...and no im not talking abt your life, speedracer_mac, im talking abt the lives of all those billions (yes billions, not millions) of ppl. in places like africa and asia that live in absolutely abhorrent conditions...its all just a giant mess the way i see it

That would suck. I'm not very religious at all. I don't really believe in organized religion. It's all bull, I mean look at all of the corruption.

no need to believe in the superstitions, ones life is much easier when they realize it's all an act.

well except for those people who think they need it, and are addicted. they live in fear of their creator, and deep down they seem to be missing something.

I think religion is for the weak who can't face reality. It is simply the human response to being alive and having to die.


"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." - Karl Marx

i had a similar discussion with a guy around this time last year.

basically the way i see it - none of the religions we believe are true and none is more correct than the other.

but, if you have faith, and believe in your religion and abide by the rules of it you will get into heaven (if such a place exists).

i also think that it's all a big conspiracy by the government to make people better people. like, i wont kill a man, because i'll go to jail for 10 years. but then again.. i might just go ahead, as i'll be out in 10 years?? but, if i go ahead with it.. i'll have to spend an eternity in jail!!! better reconsider...

that's my theory anyways

There is no god, the sooner people realize that and stop wishing for better things, the sooner they themselves will start working or them and reach them

there has to be something up *there*

like, ffs, where did we come from? ppl say evolution, but what did we evolve from??

Gorillas?? who put the Gorillas there??

Where did God come from?? !!argh!! doin my head in!!

David

i think we should all just be grateful that we're here

i think we are living in an era where realization that there isnt no god is taking place...and religion is slowly becoming obselete


any rebuttals?
