on a more serious note, would recommend deleting this thread. There two taboo discussion that shouldnt really be mentioned in sociality because of the conflicts of thoughts and emotions that could play out in it. Religion and Politics.
But whatever, carry on. | ||

If you need the threat of heaven or hell, with some vengful being watching over you ready to eternally damn you in order to not be a jerk, then go for it.
If you can be a decent person without the threat of punishment from an overbearing father figure then go for it. If there is a form of afterlife and something is going to judge my actions in life to determine weather it will be pleasant or nasty, I would hope that the judgment was on how I lived my life and not weather or not I provided lip service to a corporation that derives it's authority by stating that they are the conduit to a supreme being. As for evidence, I've read reports of people stating that they have been touched physically by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and I still have my doubts as to the veracity of their claims. At least their church is a pirate ship, and their base tenet is "don't be a jerk to others". Oh, and the diminishing number of pirates is the cause of global warming. It's true, they have a chart. | ||

Live a good life, procreate, and be nice to everybody.
If there's a god, you'll be cool. If not, people will say nice things about you and keep your gravestone clean. Word.

I think the notion of a god of infinite love sending me to hell to burn forever for doubting his existence is absurd at best.

If you haven't seen this, watch it. If you have then you know what I'm talking about. If you are religious, please click this, don't just skip it either. He makes some VERY valid points. I for one agree with Bill, if we (humans) don't quit talking to invisable people we are all dead, period.
When you take a step back and think about all the things that your religion tells you are unacceptable, ask yourself, would God (an all knowing being) act in these ways? believe in these things? promote violence like religious people do? Please read up on Horus (Egyptian Sun God) Or Indra, Joseph (from the bible), almost any major regligious icon and tell me that you can't make the exact same story about cristianity if you just put "Jesus" in the story insted of any of these figures. Biggest problem with christians is they don't even study their own religion, they are simply taught at a young age to do as your told and not ask questions. Questions are heresy and will not be tolerated. If you care to dispute this with me feel free, I went to a cathloic school and had first hand experience on how christians are taught. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jETVUulGwc

Difference is, I was brainwashed into the cult of religion at an early age. When I grew up, I required a bit of evidence to continue believing in some invisible, all-powerful being. That evidence just doesn't exist. Until it does, I'll continue to see it the way I see it. I know, I know...this is the part of the program where we discuss "faith". So I'll just concede the victory to you on this argument, because there's no way I can win that one. | |||
