What idiot came up with the idea of unless you are enslaved to a religion that you are in some way wasting your life?
Given the violent nature of religion it is hard to believe that a loving God would say you must believe one is right or be tortured forever!
True love can not be forced! Am I smarter then the God of religion? I MUST BE!

Religion isn't a good thing if someone forces you to embrace it or keeps pushing you to listen about it.
My beliefs are my own and not being the same as yours doesn't make them less important.
And now, thanks to you, I think I'm wasting my life just by answering this question because you don't really care about an answer, you only want to advertise!

No I am not wasting my life.
Your question is in fact an interesting one because it can be paradoxical.
How 'bout if it is my destiny, my fate, my reason for being here that I waste my life... then as I was wasting my life I would be fulfilling my purpose.
Hmmm....
You see, if there weren't people out there wasting their lives, you would have no one to save. What purpose then would conventional religion serve?

No, they're not. If I wanted that kind of info, I'd go to your offices down the blocks. *rolls eyes*
To answer the original question.....yes, I am. But I dumped the reason why, so that won't apply anymore.

nothing is a waste of life, not living is. you learn from every experience and you will learn until you will be with the person that those sites are about. have a great day.

Wasting? Nah. Enjoying, seeking, fullfilling, and at this point, doing exactly what I want to do.
Which includes not reading any of those books, thanks.

No! I'm living it to the fullest possible extent. Now I've got to get off this computer and go canoeing with my family.

You are sick.
Using terrible tragedies to push your beliefs on others is one of the sickest things I have seen.
Don't you value human dignity at all ?
Or does only Christian human dignity count ?
