- why don't you believe in the book of mormon?
- why don't you accept Lucifer as your lord?
- isn't following buddha the path to enlightenment?
- is Zeus or Odin the all-father?
- wicca is nature's way
- channeling and crystals will make you a higher soul
- Scientology is the only way to free yourself from the thetans of Xenu

I'd better get busy if I need to start worshipping all of them at once!

Ok, for you believers, I am placing bets. How many posts this can get, in such a short period of time?

Twenty more minutes, I say 45 posts. Come on!

I know plenty of Christians that lead honest lives and are actually fun to be around. The thing is, they don't try to force their beliefs on others. They just believe in what they want to believe, which happens to include nice traits like being nice to other people. I know plenty of non religious people that live in the same manner. Bottom line, there's nice people in both categories and, when it comes down to it, the way you are as a person doesn't really change much no matter what religion you subscribe to. The fact that assholes are signing up for Christianity can be encouraging in that it mellows them out a little bit, but it also gives Christians a bad name.

So don't hate. The nice people are just doing their thing and the assholes can't help it.

Oh yeah, and addressing the OP's question, that bit of logic does make a lot of sense. However, belief is not something you can just divine out of thin air. You actually have to believe it.

People will then often say ?But surely it?s better to remain an Agnostic just in case?? This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that I?ve been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would chose not to worship him anyway.)?Douglas Adams

I believe in god, and I prayed to god that if I ever see you in person that I shall smite thee, and that thee will know it is a sign from god, and that thee will be forever grateful that I smote thee so as to prove that god exists.

Have your read the bible? obviously not. if you believe because there's "no harm in it so why not" then it doesn't count. like deathbed confessions, they don't count. Also, what if the bible is wrong and jews or muslims are right? then there would be plenty of harm in believing because you would go to hell for it.

So the only reason to follow a religion is to get the big payoff, that being eternal life and happiness. This life doesn't really matter at all does it? There's very little reason to actually think about why we're doing the things we do. Just so long as we stay on the rails in this great trainride to eternity.

Morality? Screw that! Maybe what the bible tells me to do would be considered "moral", but I don't really care. I'm just in it for the big ol' pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Love? I love God...I think. I must be loving God because I do all the things that the bible says people do when they love god. That doesn't really matter though right? If I go through the motions the big payday after flatline central is still coming right?

There's still hope, a higher power only known as "the network" may pick them up and save them.
