I disagree with you. I think there are a lot of religious people
who still live their lives to the fullest; if you think they are
just wasting their lives away, then you don't really understand
religions. If your only examples of religious people are the
extremists who blew themselves up in the name of religion, then you
really don't know what you are talking about.
Anyway, I believe "living life to the fullest" is very subjective;
what you think as a "full life" may be different from another
individual. So what is your definition of "living life to the
fullest"? Drugs, sex, rock and roll?? Just because a religious
person abstained from drugs, promiscuous sex, alcohol, gambling,
and all the vices, does that make his or her life less full?
All religions teach their followers that life is precious and to
live a good life; I think it is wrong of you to generalize that
only atheists can live a full life.
Mahatma Ghandi and Mother Theresa were both very religious
people...so are you saying that they did not live their lives to
the fullest and what he did for his nation and what she did for the
poor are meaningless??
