why? death is inevitable for all life. at least a black hole would kill you quickly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

you should probably fear slow painful deaths. maybe being stuck in a fire, but without much smoke, so you dont suffocate, it's the flames that get you. slowly inching closer and closer

and as far as space stuff that can kill us, there's a lot more than just black holes.

[Anonymous No.6221638]

>>6221630
good point. if i were truly religious, then wouldnt dying and going to heaven be like top on your priority list? if you think heaven is real, then this earth is shit by comparison. obviously the religiofags made it so that 'suicide is sinful' because if they didnt then people would do exactly what i just fucking suggested, and the religion would die out because all the believers would be dead.

but even so, i'd still be the most fucking careless bitch in the entire world. i'd be like 'it doesnt count as suicide, i just dont feel like looking when i cross roads. god didnt say that this is sinful anywhere, did he?"

she didnt say that she had a lot of boyfriends 'at the same time'
maybe it's only one at a time, and each one is long term?
like i said, you dont know,, so dont judge
and FYI there aint actually anything morally wrong about having multiple partners at the same time anyway. if you think it is wrong, then i'd love you to try to explain it in any sort of coherent and logical way, coz it aint hurting anyone, so i've no idea wtf your problem is.

[Anonymous No.6221650]

>>6221640
doesn't need to be at the same time. by definition, to be coined a 'slut', it would have to be entirely subjective.

therefore, having a lot of boyfriends, one could consider her a slut.

that's vague as fuck

and there fore when i only had (n-1) previous boyfriends i'd be 'not a slut' but that magical one extra boyfriend is enough to put it over the edge?? huh??
coz you sounds like a fag, and who says girls care about your opinion anyway? you call someone a slut, then they just aint gonna fuck YOU personally. they aint gonna be offended, and probably dont give a shit what you think.

I used to feel this way when I first became atheist. The fact that I had lost the afterlife was extremely disturbing. I've been atheist for 7 years now and it doesn't really worry me anymore. Yeah, I'm going to lose everything, but the fact is, I will always have been here. Nothing will ever change the fact that I was alive, that I loved and laughed, and in the full ess of time, died.
