I used the golden rules and you are claiming that should not have been part of he answer to your question?
I answered your question with the same kind of attitude in which you asked it. If you wish for me not to have an attitude in my answers, then stop having an attitude in your questions. Just the asking of the question it self was belittling of me and my character.
And showing you are not able to grasp English here, I was talking about a specific other blogger and not you when I mentioned a blogger here who could not grasp English. It was clearly not talking about you. This other blogger communicates in a strange language I have dubbed 'oddyish' and it changes with every use. I've yet to figure it out and so we have some real problem communicating.
As for if I follow the golden rule. I do, but when a person shows me no respect I have a hard time showing them respect back. However I always start out showing them the respect I would like to receive from them.
These silly attacks against my character really get old fast.
As for how do I know God was board and lonely and needed worshippers? I've read enough of the bible and studied the general idea of God. I really am lost as to how anyone could see it any other way if they believe in the Bible.

Re: RSM
My question was :
"What type of "life guidelines", if you will, or beliefs do you have in how you are to others while you are on this earth and why?"
Somehow, from this perfectly good question, is the following:
kooka speaks: "By logic the best way to do this is by living with the simple idea of 'due un to others as you would have them do un to you' (The only thing anyone needs to learn from the Bible, and the philosophy itself it much , much older than the Bible). "
Earlier in your reply you stated:
kooka speaks: "My life guidelines? it really is amazing at how many times it seems I have to spell it out for believers. Trust me, all I am about to say has been repeated by me too many times to count now, and that is just here on Blogit, half of those to the same blogger who just has been unable to grasp English well enough to understand what I believe."
And this: kooka speaks: "As far as I am concerned that view is filled with much more optimism and give more meaning to life than to believe that we were created by some omnipotent being just because he was bored and lonely, and needed worshippers."
From these examples, I do not understand how my question resulted in such belittling comments especially since you believe in "'due un to others as you would have them do un to you' ???
You also stated that I am not able to grasp English. Finally, you seem to "know" that God was 'bored' or 'lonely' and 'needed worshippers'. I am not certain how you know this about God.
You must stop the contradictions if you want to be effective in your presentation on why you are an atheist.

My life guidelines? it really is amazing at how many times it seems I have to spell it out for believers. Trust me, all I am about to say has been repeated by me too many times to count now, and that is just here on Blogit, half of those to the same blogger who just has been unable to grasp English well enough to understand what I believe.
So here I go again.,
I believe that you only get one shot at life, once you die it is over, no more. You need to use that chance to enjoy life to the fullest and help enrich other people's lives as much as possible. By logic the best way to do this is by living with the simple idea of 'due un to others as you would have them do un to you' (The only thing anyone needs to learn from the Bible, and the philosophy itself it much , much older than the Bible). This is because it is much easier to enjoy life if everyone around is enjoying life as well. Just doing what you want is NOT going to make it so you enjoy life to the fullest.
Now for the second part of your question, 'why are we here', that is real simple. If one views the universe itself as a being, not necessarily aware or even close to being alive in the sense that we understand life, but a form of organism none the less, then life itself can be viewed as a functional byproduct of the universe, in the same manner that blood is the functional byproducts of our bodies. It matter not if our blood cells know what their true purpose for being is, it just matters that they are there. We survive some function that we need not know what it is to be doing it. For whatever reason there needs to be life in the universe for the universe to function correctly. So just by being alive we are part of something much greater than us.
As far as I am concerned that view is filled with much more optimism and give more meaning to life than to believe that we were created by some omnipotent being just because he was bored and lonely, and needed worshippers.

Your Guidelines
What type of "life guidelines", if you will, or beliefs do you have in how you are to others while you are on this earth and why?
