They are not petty in relation to the Supreme. Seen by themselves, in their own light, they are of no real value.
Incorrect. They have whatever value humans assign to them, which is considerable. In fact, that is the only meaning that matters, or that we can be sure of, as there is no evidence that any deities exist to attribute meaning to things.
Hahahahahahaha.
In the case that my God does not exist, then why not just pursue material sense gratification at others' expense?
Just because you might lack either the integrity or imagination to pursue goodness if you ever were to find out your god does not exist does not mean that everyone will react in the same way.
Incidentally, all religions are hedonistic in their own way, they simply involve the prioritisation of different desires - so I see no reason to put up with this typical line of anti-atheist bigotry from you or any other religionist.
Humans are pleasure seeking and if we are barred the Highest PLEASURE of the heart.... which is God (KREESHNA),,,,, then so-called happiness involves abusing and mistreating others. That is the end result.
Not at all. Many people do not need your deity in order to want to help others, and to enjoy doing so. Again, your prejudiced assumption that only things you disdain arise from our stance is duly noted, and discarded.
Look at it this way pal, does empathy have any value when love is subtracted from it?
Who says that love is definitely separated from empathy when atheists implement it? Gods are not needed for love to exist, only people.
I may speak in riddles, but it is all to illustrate a point. Keep your mind's eye peeled is all I can say.
Just speak plainly. Make your point already.
(I despise this "ooh herp derp look at me speak in riddles!" shamanistic, pseudo-profound, deepity-laden routine that many religionists do. It presumes you actually have something of value to contribute before you have actually contributed anything. Demonstrate that first, perhaps)
