I am a a thoroughgoing materialist,to proceed from reality and seek truth from facts is our fundamental stand as materialists.so I dont put my faith in God.

Mefisto, that is a very narrow view.  If all things must have creators, then the god you speak of is not exempt from this requirement either- what created it?

 

Of course I do not believe in any god.  I don't believe in the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, or Santa clause either.  These are all magical mythical creatures that do not exist in reality.

Hope's, you may not be aware of this, but whether you like it or not, humans are animals.

Assuming we are some magically fundamentally different being is beyond arrogant.

 

There are differences, but nothing fundamental, between different types of animals.

Human animals are a bit smarter, elephant animals are stronger, tortoise animals live longer, bird animals can fly, etc.

 

We all have our traits, but there's nothing fundamentally different or better about human life- it's only better in our opinions because we are humans.  If we were elephants, we might think elephant life was better.

 

Do you understand?

"If we were elephants,we might think elephant life was better?!!!"

 

Yes, we might.  If we were dolphins, we might think dolphin life was better.  Most species prefer members of their own species, because it's all they know. 

 

"...Does an animal have a brain to distinguish between what is good or not?!"

 

'Good' is relative, and yes, most animals do have brains to distinguish this.  Psychology demonstrates that all complex animal brains (including humans) work in very similar ways.

 

"Human animals?!!...what a bright thoughts u have…"

 

These are not just my thoughts, but the knowledge of science and every individual with a modern education. 

 

"sooner or later u will know the truth."

 

I already know the truth.  The sad thing is that you probably never will, because you'll be dogmatic until you die, and then there will be nothing, and you'll never be corrected on the matter.

Ok this gonna be interesting.. I could say that I believe in science but really i don't because science doesn't need believing it let you SEE what the truth is^^ and, hope's, I have to say that i agree with black, I wouldn't mind "just" living this life, don't u think this is enough? if you think it's not , it's because you haven't look well at what you have around. take a look aorund. The most beautiful think about life is that it's mayfly.
