to all you nonbelievers in religion

[confused1234]

why dont you believe in the bible. what would happen if you keep convincing yourself that god doesnt exist only to find out when you die he does and you go to hell. so i say believe in god because if religion is wrong NO BAD can come form it and if religion is right so much good can come from it

 

[trmiv]

This should be interesting.

 

[calvinbiss]

"confused" is right

 

[Babbles]

Here we go with another dumb thread where people will argue all over the place.

Good going numbnuts, how about you think before you post. Maybe try the search function; I'm sure you could find plenty to read.

Along the same lines, why would anyone refuse to believe in the Tooth Fairy? If you lose a tooth and you believe, you get a quarter under your pillow, whereas if you don't, you get nothing!

How can you just believe in something? I seriously doubt you'd be able to fake your way into your perfered afterlife

Edit: Do religious or political discussions ever end well if everyone doesnt hold the same opinion?

Congratulations. Your thread just deprived me of the will to live. Now where did I leave that bottle of pills????

 

[Cattlegod]

believing just to believe isn't believing.

nothing like trying to impose your values on others.

Preaching is one thing, imposing is another.

 

[DaveSimmons]

that's an exciting new thought I'd wager has never been discussed before here.

too bad most religions say they are the one true path, so if you pick the wrong one out of the thousands you are out of luck.

You can't fool God. Sorry, but you've been exposed and are most certainly going to hell.

I'm in as long as I don't have to do anything.

To all you beleivers....why oh why do you constantly need reinforcement of your beliefs? If you are not insecure in them you wouldn't be asking such dumb questions all the time. You believe what you want to believe and I will believe what I want to believe. The biggest difference between us is I will never try to get you to see my point of view and I really don't care that you believe something different than I do. If God exists he is laughing at the asskissers much more than those who are actually living a decent, moral, generous, and non-hypocritical life without having to get instructions every Sunday.

You might not be but arent you asking others to fake it?

So basically buy fire insurance?

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Why do you care if others of us follow it or not? To me, personally, it seems like some religions have people always trying to spread their beliefs. It really doesn't bother me because I can walk passed someone who is handling out flyers/bibles/etc. but it still gets annoying.

So much good can come from religion? Have you been living under a rock?

In Pali the word for faith is saddha. The word for confidence is saddha. Faith is based in confidence, confidence in having experienced what we know to be true. This is the Buddhist definition of faith.
