Religion can&#39;t be both &quot;fake and a product of delusional minds&quot; while simultaneously possessing some quality or essence about it that makes it inherently more incumbent to oppose (even to the degree of a dying loved one affording zero exceptions or special treatment) than any other whimsical belief such as Santa Clause unless you wanted to admit there being an underlying emotional element to your position which is otherwise 100% hidden from view coming from a readers perspective and I&#39;d submit as feedback that I&#39;d be extremely interested in hearing why religion was a trigger for you although it would go without saying that all former credibility was out the window- further contemplation for the question of if what you did was right or not...<br />Anyway, I tried to give you a good, thoughtful and genuine response to what seems like a genuinely human and real broadcast of a moment on your heart in need of clarity. I&#39;ve given my honest thoughts and I&#39;ve no doubt in the objective, logical and unbiased articulation of the most important considerations - no one person can cover a discussions myriad nuances and articulation of interpretations which is the &quot;human&quot; element uniting us all in the way we relate to our personal experiences as a species in this reality of ours. It&#39;s the &quot;x&quot;factor we can&#39;t understand and always forget when judging our own thoughts and actions vs others and it tops the list of suspects that would explain what may have been missing regardless of whether God or religion is real or what you believe, know, ignore, was told by a leprechaun -whatever. The only important truth was your bud lay there at the end of their life and was glad to have you there as company.

Do you always and with flawless consistent behave in ways that reflect core beliefs for which you have a strong and rational foundation of support and objective evidence? <br /><br />If not, then why couldn&#39;t you similarly humor your dying friend and sorta &quot;look the other way&quot; given the unique circumstances and relatively minor effort and inconvenience being requested? Why was it so utterly important (important enough to insult and refuse the simple request of a dying friend) for you to fervently defend that hill at that moment in time for for ANY reason that wasn&#39;t subjective? Is it possible that the emotional rush of edginess-neurotransmitters and resulting internal drama you visualized as the inevitable aftermath <br />following having made such a self-righteously headstrong decision to draw your line in the sand right there (surely top 10 anime declarations of atheism?) inflated the importance of that moment in the fight against religion to proportions a tad bit irrational in scope considering the moment shouldn&#39;t have really been about YOU in any shape or form in the first place (if you&#39;re gonna maintain you were an actual friend to this person)?<br /><br />If not, then you should understand that anytime, for the rest of your life, you find yourself tolerating something you disagree with (which you defined in this scenario could be something as simple as being in earshot of a sincerely heartfelt song being sung so we&#39;ll define the Disliked Action as a range between &quot;heartfelt song containing disagreeable lyrics sung in real-time&quot; and &quot;active physical and emotional disregard of personal and bodily boundaries resulting in forced evolution of previously absolute disposition&quot;), you&#39;ll have to settle within yourself that &quot;whatever thing is happening&quot; is more important to you than granting your dying friends request of you fail to vehemently venture to put a stop to it or quickly excuse yourself from the area affected by the antagonizing force. Indeed, that&#39;s quite a tall order and precedent you&#39;ve now established but would likely be small potatoes so long as you come with that same energy you likely displayed before your dying friend. Of course this wouldn&#39;t be limited only to topics surrounding religion as you come across as somebody fully aware of the necessity to remain logical and rational in the construction of the foundations upon your core beliefs and and worldview rest. . </content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1840883490537563440/5317228565162916294/comments/default/7045079144120912602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1840883490537563440/5317228565162916294/comments/default/7045079144120912602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.fadewblogs.eu.org/2021/11/I-said-no.html?showComment=1674085660672#c7045079144120912602' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://www.fadewblogs.eu.org/2021/11/I-said-no.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840883490537563440.post-5317228565162916294' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1840883490537563440/posts/default/5317228565162916294' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-296797730"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 3:47:00 PM PST"/></entry></feed>
