Why happy with no god

Happy with no god

A few weeks ago I was in town; the local "Born Again's" were having sing and trying to enlist some new followers. I was approached by one of them, "hello are you having a good day?" , "not bad so far" was my reply."Ok good, what if I gave you some really good news, something that would change your life and make you really happy". Why do they always assume that what they are about to tell you is something completely new and unheard of?. "You're going to tell me that Jesus/God loves me and that if believe and live my life with faith, then I will go to heaven and live in paradise for eternity". He seemed surprised at my answer. "Your are a believer?" "No" I replied, "then how can you be truly happy?"
I then went on to explain that I did not believe in any higher power/creator and that I was possibly happier than him, because I know that this life is it and to make the best of it. Where as a believer would always have some doubt, what if you have not quite lived your life as God expected, what about on the day of rapture nothing happens? Have you been left behind?
So we agreed to disagree, His last words being "you know where to find us if you change your mind"
So happy with no god seems like a good user name.   :)
I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public(Facebook). They forget that invisibility is a superpower."

Hello, new comer!   I do like your username.

I remember once when I was 16, a creepy group of religious bible fuckers approached me. They asked me if I wanted to bathe in the light of the Lord (lol, wut, golden shower?)

Anyway when I told them no thanks, they asked me if there was anything they could pray for me.  I responded "Yes, pray that these creepy strangers currently harassing me go away."  Then walked off.  So annoying.  Why do they smile so much, setoously?  It is as if they have a brain parasite.  :-\

Greetings, Happy with no god!  I also love the username, but they'll start calling you 'Happy' and then you'll be one of the 7 dwarfs.   :P

Sweetdeath, I think that's a pretty accurate description of what's wrong with them.

This is where I miss the old HAF, 'cause no smiley here accurately describes how amused I am by this.

I think I have been so desensitized to bad language I failed to notice the expletive in your joke. I was wonder what crawled up Festers butt.

@ the OP, welcome!

I think you'll find this is a use of irony.
When you intentionally use an expletive to chastise someone else's use of an expletive, you're either are a hypocritical jerk or using irony.  I don't think Fester is a hypocritical jerk.  Potty-mouth is a humorous word no?

Thank you for the lesson, but I had already picked up on that. Without reading the "fuck" however, the irony is not noticeable. I think you might have missed the intended humorous point of my post. It may have helped if I had spelled wondering correctly.

LOL  I love this place.  Just for the record, in case the irony was missed by anybody else, sweetdeath is way too cool for intentional hypocritical jerk-ness to be thrown her way.  I case anybody is counting, I used passive voice twice in that sentence.  Take THAT 8th grade grammar teacher!

I would have replied "same to you". How arrogant.
