You can be wise without being religious.
LOL prove it

Show me one wise person who isn't religious
I mean

He could list a couple, but you're just gonna immediately deny that any of them are smart, or differentiate between "smart" and "wise" in some overly pedantic way

There's only a few certain circumstances where suicide could be even remotely considered a 'brave' thing to do.

Most cases aren't.
What the fuck are you talking about?

Me fetching a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes is not a cowardly act, simply by virtue of it not being brave and vice versa.

It's neutral.
crunchy nut cornflakes shill plz go

Depends on if you prove me wrong or not
I could , but you'd just pull some bullshit out of your arse as to why they aren't wise.

Wisdom isn't exclusive to religion.

Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper are the three names which immediately spring to mind when it comes to wise atheists.

To the folks in here talking about cowardice and heroicness, trying to banter and decide which is which, I say this. Until you've had a foot hanging off the edge of a radio tower and you're leaning down over the rails, letting your hands slip because you no longer care what happens,

Your say is invalid.

Suicide, and depression, is neither brave, or selfish. True depression, leading to suicide is a mental override. Everything around you goes grey. It has no meaning. It's tiring. You're so low, that nothing has a point, nothing has an impact. There's no fear. No hesitation.

Bravery, and heroism, comes from fear. When you're brave, you're afraid. When you commit an act of suicide in war, a suicidal charge, jumping over a grenade and so on, you're afraid.

A true, deep seeded depression and suicide that comes from it, is the result of a person no longer having any constraints like fear, or regret, or even a survival instinct. It's all completely overridden and replaced with grey.

Of course, suicide has many perpetrators. Pain, sadness, misery, an unstable emotional balance.

But it is not cowardly. Nor is it brave.

/thread with one minor exception

Your say is invalid.
Whilst I get where this comes from, having been there myself, I don't like disregarding people's opinions out of hand because they haven't been there personally. In my opinion that sort of brashness does more harm to increasing awareness/understanding than talking to them reasonably/politely <.<

That being said, when someone is just being a twonk over this sort of thing I'm all for ripping them a new one.

"In an interview[26] that Popper gave in 1969 with the condition that it shall be kept secret until after his death, he summarised his position on God as follows: "I don't know whether God exists or not.
You mean he said the exact same thing the New Atheists have been saying all along?

Holy shit! What a fucking revelation!

Yeah, it's not at all shocking that most atheists are agnostic as opposed to gnostic.

lel atheist:
a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.

enlightened agnostic:
a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.
Tell me, why should any rational person give this so called "God" the benefit is the doubt apart from the fact that it's the common thing to believe in? Hundreds of years ago it was Zeus and Co. And people were considered fools back then for doubting their existence.

He doesn't exist.

Are you Anti-theist? Or just an atheist?

I get the Anti-Theist vibe from you >.>

Suicide is cowardly.

Deciding not to go through with it, however, is among the bravest things one can do.
