Re: How do atheists console each other when a loved one dies?

Atheists are incapable of love. They're too busy pretending God doesn't exist, precisely because they are so full of hatred and venom for all that is good and pure in the world. It's sad.

I John 4:8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Amen! This is the Holy Spirit speaking here! Glory!!

Re: How do atheists console each other when a loved one dies?

The dramatised documentary, Dumplings [2004], catalogues the pursuit of faux eternal life from the East Asian continent. Or the elixir of youth or whatever it is they think they're doing. I must stress here that these activities are not due to being East Asian they're due to living without God.

Well, those 'elixirs of youth' and whatnot are just fantasies originating from ancient China, from as far away as the Qin Dynasty, where Qin Shi Huang thought that mercury would make him immortal. He died from mercury poisoning, which is really ironic (and hilarious if you read more of the story).
If the people die from drinking their so-called 'elixirs', then it serves them right for craving immortality. Luckily, science is there to stop us from poisoning ourselves even further by proving such 'elixirs' to be poisonous.

Several aspects of that bleak existence are covered in the reconstruction, here is a short excerpt showing the desired thrill upon one's eating the first meal, a thrill soon to fade:

Thrill? That's just your way of saying 'enjoying your food', isn't it?
Dumplings are pretty common here in China. The clip just shows the part of a movie, and in fact isn't about the thrill of eating dumplings. It just shows the traditional 'art' of dumplings themselves, how you should taste it to get the full flavour etc. Eating dumplings in China is not much different to eating steak in America. You savour your steak, just like we savour our dumplings.
Mmmmm, dumplings.

So you can could put your hand on your heart and say that science has never poisoned anyone.

You are very naive.

Re: How do atheists console each other when a loved one dies?

How very terrible to live your whole life thinking of ways to not do disgusting things like eating the brains of your dead rather than just knowing it's wrong because you have faith in our Lord.

They wouldn't have any certainty of Salvation. No consolation that those people who have wronged them in life will burn forever in Hell. I can't imagine how empty and hateful that must feel. To think of offensive people just getting away with it. Like people with no reason to not just eat their dead. And they try to tell us we are the hateful ones.

We have no reason to eat the brains of the dead. So why should we eat the brains of the dead? The way you said it is that we are resisting eating the brains of the dead.
Convincing you is hopeless. You'll just find some way to go around it, then continue back on your path of hatefully saying that we all must be wanting to screw a corpse, eat a fetus, and now eat brains, all because we're atheists. What proof do you have of us doing that nowadays? Maybe some lunatic has done it in the past, but the minority does not mean the majority.
I'm wondering what disgusting ritual you're gonna accuse us of wanting to do next.

Re: How do atheists console each other when a loved one dies?

Are you as an atheist really saying you don't believe in elixirs of life or eating dead babies? That's rich, especially when the hottest topic in atheist science is stem cell therapy. Stem cells are ground up fetuses, and all you atheists believe that eating stem cells will help you, putting stem cells on wounds will make them heal without scars, stem cells can be used to grow new organs when your old ones are used up, repair brain damage, etc. This is exactly the same thing witch doctors in Africa and Asia believe when they kill albino's for their body parts, grind down rhinoceros horns and lions' balls because it will help their sexual performance or can be turned into some other medicine.

And what makes it all the more evil is the excuse you atheists use to still have sex and abort more fetuses! You claim that your fantasy witch doctor treatments with stem cells work better when the stem cells are your body's own stem cells, i.e. the fetus you are using as medicine has to be your own child for it to work best. You horrible, evil people actually choose to murder your own children just because you have this crazy notion that eating your dead babies will make you more healthy.

You horrible, evil people actually choose to murder your own children just because you have this crazy notion that eating your dead babies will make you more healthy.

Before I start, here's an extract on what's an 'elixir' from Wikipedia: "An elixir is a clear, sweet-flavored liquid used for medicinal purposes, to be taken orally and intended to cure one's ills."
So, since we do not take in stem cells orally, I can conclude that stem cell therapy is not a form of 'elixir', so we don't actually 'eat' babies.
Now, back into the topic of 'stem cell therapy'.
Stem cell therapy has in fact met with a lot of controversy, even among atheists. Some of us claim killing fetuses is extremely immoral and is equal to murder. Some of us claim fetuses doesn't have a developed nervous system nor even a consciousness, so it's okay to use them to improve our lives. Personally, I think that wounds should just heal naturally, let them scar, I don't care. It's just the natural way of things. However, I agree that when faced with cancer, the best way to cure it is to use stem cell therapy.
Look at it any way you like, but I disagree that it's the same with those witch doctors in Africa with those mindless rituals and stuff about animal horns and body parts being medicine. What's different is that stem cell therapy actually has scientific evidence to back it up, and which actually works. Here's some interesting facts: the fetuses used during stem cell therapy is less than two weeks old, still only a bunch of cells, and is not visible to the naked eye.
I'll also shine a little light onto how we actually procure those fetuses: scientists just take male sperm from male testes (I prefer to use the official names, thank you.) and female eggs from female ovaries. They then put those two together on a petri dish to stimulate the eggs. Since no sexual interaction between the male and the female occurs during the process of procuring the fetuses, we can hardly call it 'sex'.
In fact, I have some information on stem cell therapy from last year's Liberal/Religious Studies textbook. If you want a picture of the relevant content, please let me know.

Son, you need to do your homework. Scientists pick and choose research according to what will look like evidence to back up what they want to portray as being Truth. The fact is, there is no evidence to support stem cell therapy in any way. It's nothing more than desensitizing the population from looking at fetuses as humans for the purpose of passing laws to kill newborns when abortion becomes illegal.

Here's some interesting facts: the fetuses used during stem cell therapy is less than two weeks old, still only a bunch of cells, and is not visible to the naked eye.

So, two weeks old is disposable, but two weeks and one day isn't? According to who? Richard Dawkins?

Do you think the good LORD doesn't miraculously implant a soul into a little unborn baby person just because the method of fertilization isn't optimal?

Re: How do atheists console each other when a loved one dies?

What's in a word? Should one ask "Do atheists eat brains" or "Would atheists eat brains" may affect an immediate answer but the underlying principle remains the same.

You still haven't said what's stopping you. It's obvious that atheists will stop at nothing to satisfy their perverse desires.

So what evidence is there for atheists' desires being perverse? The Bible teaches us:

PSALM 53
1a The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
1b Corrupt are they, and
1c have done abominable iniquity
KJV

So that is pretty strong evidence for the fact of atheists'
. • Folly
. • Corruption
. • Abominableness
. • Iniquitousness

But evidence is not proof. For that we need to check what was the position after Jesus' blood had run onto the earth changing it, and changing all the heavens, forever. Not everything changed; we know for example that adultery is still wrong, or theft. What about atheism? Is that OK nowadays?

ROMANS 3
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
KJV

Well things do not seemed to have improved much do they. In addition to rejecting God the atheist now further rejects the Perfect Atonement in Christ. Thus embracing:
. • Unrighteousness
. • Ununderstanding
. • Godlessness
. • Deviance
. • Unprofitableness
. • Badness
. • Sepulchral bleating ex-throat
. • Deceitfulness sur-tongue
. • Sinuous venom sub-lip
. • Cursing
. • Bitterness
. • Swiftness to shed blood
. • Destructiveness
. • Misery
. • Peacelessness
. • Vaingloriousness

Not the most endearing of choices. But that's not the point. Here we have proof that rejection of God opens the gate to a multiplicitude of demons being released even in these Last Days.

We have no reason to eat the brains of the dead. So why should we eat the brains of the dead?

And there is your answer: No reason. As soon as it became expedient to consume brains (or ears or adenoids I suppose) off would come the cranium (or ears or face) and in with the spork. Christians have standards. Standards received from God. And even if according to the standard of the world there was, or seemed to be, a reason to commit adultery or to steal we would never do so.

Without God's Standard then, clearly there can never be a reason to reject anything.

And yet they reject God.

You're the one who said mercury is an elixir of life, and that does not taste sweet, so thanks for stealing from wikipedia, but you really should have read up on the facts before you made your posts.

And as far as technicalities go, you don't "eat" your babies, you just ingest them by placing them directly in your body, I don't think anyone really thinks that makes your baby-eating behavior any better.

Deuteronomy 28:56-58
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God;[/I]

God warned us this would happen, which proves God exists and knows everything. 6000 years ago God already knew you would be eating the babies God gave you, and He condemned it. The Lord knew you people would be doing this if you do not follow the law written in the Bible completely. And now you even revel in your evil, you take pride in eating your own children because it will let you live a few months longer. Atrocious.

And your rant on fetuses makes you look only more evil, you're actually saying it's okay to eat babies when they are unconscious... Or even adults when they don't have a fully developed nervous system anymore due to Alzheimers... You are a horrible human being, I'm serious, I have spoken with and converted plenty of atheists, but never have I heard someone so sick and depraved.

And I would love to see this evidence for stem cells curing cancer that goes beyond what African witch doctors have for their treatments.

As if there is any difference nowadays between witch doctors and medical doctors, medical doctors nowadays use leeches for bloodletting, just like witch doctors in Asia use bloodletting to "cure" patients. And look here, Africans moving to the UK find that using their witch doctor practices works better than anything science can come up with. Clear proof that scientists, pharmaceutical companies and doctors only use their trade to make money, not to actually help people, and that their remedies like bandaids, stitches and stem cell therapy don't actually do anything. Even pouring sugar over a wound is better than what your doctor can come up with.

And did you know that ever since Marie Curie discovered radioactivity, radioactive materials have been used to treat all sorts of diseases? Did you also know that Marie Curie died of cancer, caused by God, probably for handling radioactive materials? Did you know that radiation therapy is the most used therapy to "cure" cancer? Did you know that most people who have been cured of cancer according to their doctors later develop cancers all through their bodies, because they've been bombarded with radioactivity?

Did you know that God answers the prayers of all True Christians?

John 9:31
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Did you know that Jesus has healed people that modern medicine says can't be healed? Did you know that spontaneous remission cures more cancer than medical science? Did you know that spontaneous remission has been proven to only occur after a True Christian prayed for that cancer patient or cancer patients in general?

Now I have taught you, will you choose science with its baby-eating evils, or Christianity which actually demands of you to be a good person as God sees it?

Re: How do atheists console each other when a loved one dies?

When I die, I do not wish to be cremated or embalmed. I wish for my body to be placed in a pine box, with holes, and placed into the ground under a tree. In this manner, the nutrients which my body holds, the atoms which make up my being will be returned to the world from which they came. I do not own them. My family does not own them. I am merely borrowing them from the earth.

I rejoice in the time I have had with those who have died. I am beyond thankful for the experience of knowing them and do my best to pass on the memory of them to those I know. Their memory, their legacy will not be forgotten. I am currently breathing in molecules and atoms which they breathed. So are you. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.
