Are you athiest?

[Shredderbeam]

Congradulations! Your life now has no meaning!

"X is comforting" does not imply "X is true".

Basically, whether a belief gives life meaning is irrelevant.

I used to be catholic, then I became an agnost and the wisdom of Shredderbeam showed me the "light" and I turned to atheism.

Excellent.

I just don't care enough about religion to make any real decision.

Fail.

What happens if you guy were wrong? Lets say they christian belief was right and you guys spend "[{---Eternity---}]" in hell. Hell is not a big room full of people and it is really hot. Think of your worst nightmare and multiply it by a million.

What happens if Islam is true?

In any case, Pascal's Wager fails. It assumes that we can change what we believe by sheer willpower, and that God values belief over any other virtues.

Shredder may sound convincing but you guys should do some real research before you base your facts on aithiesm.

I encourage people to do legitimate research.

If anybody has any questions that they cannot answer, or starts to think that maybe a God does exist, please add me on my msn - [email protected]. I will be happy to explain it all to you.

I'm Christian, I got my own beliefs, I don't get into religous arguments though, lifes to short for that kind of shit.

 

[Shredderbeam]

Life's also too short to spend it worshipping somebody who's not there.

 

[Xix]

It all depends on the person.

People fear things they don't understand. Shredder has given you a rational means to understand. My in many cases the irrational factor is true. If there was a topic that people did not full understand, I bet I could twist them into believing something that is false. Shredder may have good ideals but to base your life off of one persons opinion is foolish.

Shredder I am just curious. What religion do you think is the most legitimate?

Yes, for some people, worshiping someone who isn't there is not a waste, and for others it is.

>_>

You are right, it would be very foolish for people to base their life on just my opinions. That is why I try to convince them by rational argument.

I don't consider any of them to legitimate, really.

Well obviously, but the Koran for example bases their religion off of hate. Do you think that is more legit that say Mormonism?

 

[K-3-V-1-N]

I wonder how many people have been converted to Atheism by Shredder.

The Qu'ran is based upon the supposed revelations of Allah/his angels to Mohamed. Certainly, some parts of it are rather hateful, but then the same could be said of the Old Testament...or even the New Testament.

In any case, I would not consider Islam more or less legitimate than Mormonism.

I wander how many people have converted because he's highly respected in this community. Haha.

I believe in God but I'm not religious. He doesn't affect my choices.... well most of them lol

I was Jewish before I was atheist, so I don't think I was going to be going to christian hell/.heaven if it existed

Perhaps that's why people make up religions

 

[hashslinger]

Perhaps that's why people make up religions

religion goes back thousands of years.

 

[Shredderbeam]

religion goes back thousands of years.

Yes, back to the times when men were most ignorant and superstitious.

 

[x⁹]

According to Shredder's logic, it's just as irrational to be an atheist as it is to be religious.

So it's better to be... Neither.

Scientology ftw.
