archaeopteryx replied to Sean O' Byrne's discussion 'Atheism & Recklessness'"Actually, it seems more likely to believe that we, who believe we have only one life, would do what we can to preserve it for as long as we can. I can't honestly say I've always followed that directive.
On the other hand - which would…"

Marinus Mellaart replied to Sean O' Byrne's discussion 'Atheism & Recklessness'"I personally think that as we get older its our bodies that tend to make us more conservative about risk taking.

Judith van der Roos replied to Sean O' Byrne's discussion 'Atheism & Recklessness'"life long atheist here, and no I do not think it makes you a risk taker.
