"An Atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An Atheist accepts that heaven is something for which we should work now -- here on earth -- for all men together to enjoy. An Atheist accepts that he can get no help through prayer, but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and to enjoy it. An Atheist accepts that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment."
-- 1959 Murray v. Curlett court case (USA)

The only difference is, belief in God & prayer, and the possibility of a here after. The rest of it fits all people, it's common sense. I just feel bad that they don't consider the possibilites, to limit yourself, when there is a chance that there's something more out there to help & guide you. Atheists, seem to think that to believe you have to commit to a religion, but, thats only for some, you can believe deeply without religion or even the Bible,[it's called spirituality] it's when you feel that connection to all things. And for me the link is God. The possibilities are endless.

I think it's true to most non-religious people. I'm sick of religious freaks who think that their religion is the right one and that all who don't believe will go to "hell". It's so immature.

I like the here and now. That's where I live and what I live for. I find it foolish to spend your life preparing for something which has zero basis in reality.

For a mature atheist this is completely true. A theist will deny it though.

I think that if you look at some athiests, not all but some, they do not support their fellow man, nor do they care. All they want is their alchohol and a woman to fullfil his lust, they think that that is all their is to life, and they want to live it up, and eventually get themselves killed. Besides, in the Bible it says that you are supposed to respect your fellow man, God first, others second, and ourselves last.

Christians love theirselves, fellow men, AND their God. they take one more stretch. and atheists are the ones not letting others live, especially Christians. half of these "questions" are just a bunch of people criticizing Christians. If anybody prays or reads the Bible WATCH OUT!!! People will be calling you bible thumper and brainwashed and a bunch of other stupid immature names

How many atheist are like that?
Probably only the person who wrote that.
A person who denise Gods existance will not go to heaven.

"heaven is something for which we should work now"...
Really? So there IS such a place for atheists? I didn't get that impression from this bunch.
