If you believe in god, you're an idiot...

My thoughts on Atheism:

I would rather live my entire life believing in God only to find out when I die that there is no Heaven/Hell than live my life denying God only to find out when I die that God is real and consequently spending Eternity in the Burning Depths of Hell.

Atleast believe in something, man. Anything.. :/

If there really is an afterlife, you don't want to be one of those lost souls just floating about in limbo for eternity. Come join the party. Those Islamic guys are gonna be chillin with 69 virgins, I know you love that. Or maybe those Christians will invite you over to the Golden Streets of Heaven? Shit man, you could even party in Hell if you're in to that kind of stuff. Maybe, the Buddhists will hook you up with some Nirvana. I mean, group up with the Agnostics and discuss your own ideas if you want. They'll be around I'm sure, atleast some of them.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do you really care that much about your tiny significance of a mortal, humanly life to blindly denounce God(s)? Why are you mad? Forgive your debtors my friend. Coexistence is possible.

You're human flesh has an expiration date, no matter what you believe in. We all die. You're belief in nothing will lead you, that is for sure. It will lead you to die alone. You're soul will drift from your dead body alone, into nothing, forever.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Have faith, in something.
Treat your Soul to a Divine existence, bro.

Wow, that would be really clever if Blaise Pascal hadn't come up with the idea of gaming the heaven system 400 years ago. What you're proposing is called Pascal's Wager. Unfortunately, it reflects terrible logic and indulges in the fallacy of argument from inconsistent revelations. This was first pointed out by no less a man than Voltaire himself!

One of the problems with this bet (for that's what this is--a gamble on infinity) is that there have been many gods and many religions throughout human history. Who is to say that the Christian God is the best bet? Ever heard that "there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet?" What if the Greeks had it right? Or the Babylonians? Or the Celts?

Richard Dawkins proposes that if God exists, he may be more inclined to reward honest attempts at reason over blind faith. Further, he suggests an anti-Pascal wager in which it is likely that one would lead a superior life by not squandering one's time worshiping, sacrificing for, fighting for and possibly even dying for an arbitrarily chosen deity.

On the other hand, it's good that you're at least trying to think!
