There was a man from a lost pple who found himself adrift in a raft. His culture had told him that inside him there was only a big void..that only what he could see was the real him. His raft roughly crashed to shore and he was hurt badly. He couldnt understand how his inward void could hurt so deeply. His rescuers rushed him to hospital which he never knew existed. He was deeply frightened as they xrayed him and offered to bind his wounds. They told him of bones broken and a broken wounded heart from THE FALL. He argued with them and called them liars..shouting " I only believe I am what I see outwardly. This pain is not real..its simply my imagination and yours. Im a realist. You should be to. Theres nothing in our insides. Its all ur silly myths, ur dreams, ur imaginationz ". The pple watched him cry and hold his body and shake as he shouted and wondered how such pain came from things that are fake and lies. They held the proof of his invisible wounds and waited-and praying-hoping

But, but, but pain is not real. Your soul might hurt, it doesn't mean that the snake inside of you is shaking its tail. The poison paralyses your mind. It slows it down, it slows it down to a halt. Not a FALL. A simple halt. The 'lost pple' knew that. They did not tell the man on the raft because they knew that he was more fragile than the others. They did not tell you, Little Morph. If they had, we would not be here, listening to your song. You would not cry. Your body would not shake. We could not hold on to the invisible proof of your wounds.

There was a man who was so afraid of death that he created an afterlife to fill the void in his thoughts. There was a man who was so afraid of this world that he created another in which he might find happiness. There was a man who was so jealous of wealthy or successful or happy people that he created a club where other scared, unhappy people could convince each other that they would get their own reward someday.
And the man spent so much time making up a fantasy world for later that he forgot to live in the world he really inhabited.

That's cute, but Atheists deny the existence of God, not their internal organs. Your analogous yarn makes for a poor analogy.
Annie, I know you're young. The wonders of life amaze you as they should. Don't let your ego get in the way of learning about them. I've read your Q&A. It looks like you've drawn many conclusions. Try thinking a little harder about the questions. Let them steep a while. Thinking about "what" breeds more wisdom than thinking you know "what is". Once you believe you have the "answer" you're through learning.

My magic eight ball says: "Poverty, war, famine, and other things that mire people in horror and misery before killing them never existed until now, so it should be taken as a sign that the end is nigh." I shook it again, and it said: "Isn't having access to worldwide news through the Internet an effective way to freak people out about things that have been going on for centuries?"

What, have you never heard of nerves?
Here's one of the things that bothers me about this whole "soul" nonsense: what about the animals? Do they have no souls? Why didn't God give them souls, too? And if they have no souls, then how is it that they are able to experience "feelings" such as fear, suffering, love, desire, and joy? How can you possibly say it makes sense to say humans can't possibly have feelings without a soul, but animals can?

So we have the scientists being the ones who are right and smart enough to know just because your eyes can't see them, doesn't mean it doesn't exist (they use scientific instruments, AKA, they have PROOF) the religious fanatic is the one who is shunning reality and clinging to his desperate beliefs.
Hmm, this story worked well to show the difference between atheists's beliefs and Christian's (or whatever it was trying to do)

Is there a question in here? As for your story, I find it unlikely that this 'lost people' had never seen someone cut with a knife, or a broken bone that broke through the skin.

It is impossible to take anything you're saying seriously when you can't even spell the words "people" "your" "imaginations" "x-ray" (it has a hyphen!!!) It takes no time at all to push the spell check button, and it makes people not want to be mean to you when you don't spell like you never went to school. OK?

Morph, That's a nice long gibberish. just what are you trying to prove ? You must have had something in mind. I doubt many will take time to read it all though.
