--- Quote from: StarHawk on February 13, 2009, 09:01:25 AM ---To be honest I don't care. But here's something to think about; * If you're an atheist and you die and there isnt a god, then you're fine. But if there is a god, then BOOM you're screwed over * If you do belive in god and you die and there isnt a god, then you're fine. But if there is a god, then you're still fine!Just something to think about... --- End quote --- Ah, my good sir, that would be Pascal's Wager. I'm afraid his conclusion (that you should believe in god to "play it safe") was logically flawed for at the very least two reasons: 1)No way to be sure which religion to follow. Pick the wrong one out of hundreds of possible choices and you still end up in hell. 2)Believing in a god simply because you "want to play it safe" is not genuine faith and as such, would not likely warrant a ticket to paradise, should it exist. If a fellow atheist needs comfort I might add that were a god to exist, I should sincerely hope that he considers actions more important than faith. I don't believe in a god, nor pray at any altar or read the bible, but at the same I don't go running around killing people, stealing property or generally inflicting a significant amount of injury on others. I choose to live for myself and for my passions and not for a possible afterlife; if that is not enough then so be it. |

If a god wanted to have me worship him, she would get of his lazy ass and come down/up and say worship me damn it. |

I want to apologize for the TERRIBLE phrasing of my earlier post... you know, the one that pissed everyone off? Anyway, I'm sorry about that. Pretty much anyone who has posted earlier has phrased my beliefs better than myself. Particularly Reactor Worker and Jervan... Sooo, yeah. I'm gonna stop posting in this thread, if you want to continue the argument, that's fine with me. Just, you know... PM me. |
