Great answer, Ray! But this is what most amazes -- and disappoints
-- me about modern-day Christianity: Why do "free ride" Christians
believe they can get away with murder? Where did these free riders
get that cockamamie idea, out of a box of Cracker Jacks? Maybe the
bible they're reading from looks like one of those files that have
been "classified for national security reasons", you see 'em where
the U.S. Government used black magic markers to hide 99% of a UFO
report, incriminating evidence, and "top-secret" things like that.
But last I looked the bible is anything but a classified document
(albeit their dumbed-down English "translations" do read that way).

I mean, we know the self-proclaimed Atheists devoutly believe that
there is no God, or Gods. Thus they believe there is no such thing
as a soul, spirit, heaven, hell, afterlife, beforelife, sin, karma,
anything supernatural, or other worldly, to put it mildly. Without
going into a diatribe, I believe the most rational explanation for
why Atheists can't see the Light, is because they can't see their
own ego-selves objectively. Atheists are purely, only, subjective.
And "free ride" Christians suffer from exactly the same incurable
blindness to the Light, and for the same reasons, being completely
immersed in--preoccupied with--their subjective mortal human egos.

It's a known fact that the Immortal souls of mortal Atheists burn
in Hellfire for a long time after they die. But these "free ride"
Christians believe that they are somehow different from Atheists,
and so they believe that, as they say "Because Jesus died for my
sins", end quote, they're no more liable for all their lifetimes
of violations of God's Universal Law (the Ten Commandments & Two
Great Commandments), than the self-described Atheists are liable.

It's the one thing that unites both the Atheists and "free ride"
Christians (Christian Atheists--no oxymoron implied) altogether,
and that is their shared belief that the Universe will not hold
them accountable for their transgressions against the Holy Ghost,
not in this life, and not in an afterlife. They all believe that.

This is why I believe that the souls of "free ride" Christians
are doomed to lift their eyes up in excruciating torments when
they die, in the same outer darkness as the hideously tormented
souls of dead Atheists--all that "weeping and gnashing of teeth",
the whole nine yards. It's when the "free ride" Christians find
out they had lived their lives as the Atheists did, without God.

Having lived afar off from the Light in their lifetimes, so too
they remain afar off from the Light in death, in outer darkness,
each a prisoner of his own device in great fear of the Light in
which to see the Just and the future Judgment awaiting them to
cross over (i.e. the impassible abyss) into the fatherly Light.
But that's just my humble opinion, to quote a song from 'Monk':

         "I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!"

"Devoutly" - no. Most couldn't care less about the subject. Hardly 
"devoutly"

? This is tantamount to saying that balck is white.
A non-atheist is objective because of faith?

Could you provide a reliable (i.e. non-biblical) reference please

Don't you? Re-read all what you've written. Be brave. This isn't Satan 
writing this, it's just someone who's not entirely sure you're a troll.

It's what we don't believe in that counts.

We don't believe in primitive mythology.

Read on, you just *might* learn something,
specially Emmett's final line, it describes you to a 'T'

"Atheism is the world of reality, it is reason, it is freedom.  Atheism
is human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious
mind cannot begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is
not an old religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is
not, and never has been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is
magnificent in its simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity
in a world of madness."

I think firstly the word 'soul' needs to be delineated in logical modern
terms

I wonder how Min knows that. There is no reference in The Bible to
"Atheists+Hellfire".

We need religion because none of us are fully informed.   
I don't know what SunBeam thinks, but I doubt she agrees with you Bert.
We need religion because none of us are fully informed.

As I see it, Marxism is a decent modern religion.
Taoism is one of the better older broader religions.
My religion, physicalism, is the best ( according to me ).

Physicalists assume the cosmos is fully causal;
i.e. physical processes determine absolutely everything;
i.e. the future is just as fixed as the past;
i.e. intrinsically, objectively, time is spatial, like east and west.

Notions such as “ motion ”, “ life ”, “ choices ”, etc.
are all artifacts of the semi-informed mind.

If you disagree with Einstein, you're wrong.   
As I see it, if you disagree with Einstein, you're wrong.

Quoting Petkov: 

“ This paper pursues two aims. 

  First, to show that the block universe view, regarding the universe as
  a timelessly existing four-dimensional world,
  is the only one that is consistent with special relativity.

  Second, to argue that special relativity alone can resolve
  the debate on whether the world is
  three-dimensional or four-dimensional.

  The argument advanced in the paper is that
  if the world were three-dimensional

  the kinematic consequences of special relativity and more importantly
  the experiments confirming them would be impossible. ”.

Learn to fashion a proper thesis.  Disagree with Einstein how?  Do I
have to agree with everything he said?  Learn to debate and then we'll
