Religion 101

[davido83]

Ok I know I am gonna get mad flamed by people on sythe for saying this but why not live your life believing in God and at the end if there isnt one then so be it. I mean at least pretend it. I mean seriously why not live your life through and if there is no God at the end then boohoo point is you dont have to be atheist
or whatever just believe in Him. You dont have to "get religious" alls you have to do is believe. So just flame away my point is believe what is not believable you wont get punished at the end if you do believe. Unless you have another religion unscientific. =) thx and let the spam and flaming me begin..

Not only is that one of the most pathetic arguments for theism, first off because, according to religion, you do have to "get religious" if you want to get into heaven, and get all the benefits of believing in god if there is one.

Now, the second reason why it is a horrid argument, is because I can't will myself to believe in God. Sure, I could go to church, and pretend I believe in God, but deep down inside I would still know that I do not believe in God, and so would an all knowing deity. It's not like I can just flip between being a theist, and a non-theist at the flick of a light switch.

I'm saying not to be atheist...I'm not an idiot.

That's cheating the system and if there was some sort of god he would know that. If you honestly think like that you're wasting your time. Either KNOW that there is a god or don't bother with it.

Please read the thread throughly.. I am a christian I am a believer...
I dont care if Im wasting my time if only it would change even one persons character

Keep your religious shit to yourself, this is cheating the system and it can't work like that.

You can't be a christian because you win either way, it doesn't work like that.

Plus, your religion is incorrect. Just so you know.

 

[davido83]

Just saying its better then not bieng christian at all bud
You think your the good guy in the situation WRONG

 

[Fat Lard]

ur gai lol.

 

[davido83]

a gai christian wow oxy moron k?

 

[Personal Jesus]

ur gai lol.

Is that your response everytime you get proven wrong? "ur gai lol"? Please inform your parents that I feel the outmost sympathy for them.

Besides, there's already two other currently active threads discussing religion. This is redundant, and a piss poor argument.

 

[davido83]

Thank you to half of that post

Religieon is just a way to make life less pointless; something to look up to.

Fact is, Life is just a toy for this so called "god", which has never been even remotly proven. Call me atheist or whatever you retards call people who dont belive god, but your just living in your own little fantasy world if you belive in god, not the real world.



Btw Sup davido

 

[davido83]

wassup even though i dont like post but i guess thats what this forumz for =s

 

[Akakoa]

This argument has so many things wrong with it. Its called "Pascal's Wager". Heres some reasons that its bullshit:

1. A person cannot make himself/herself believe in anything that they find to be totally irrational. I can't make myself believe in Santa Claus no matter how much I want to, because I know that it is completely unfounded and just plain untrue from the evidence I have.
2. If you were pretending to believe and there was a God, would God not know that you were not true in what you said about you're beliefs? I think that would piss him off even more.
3. You come across the problem of which God to believe in. How do you know which one is real when there are many different options, most of which are mutually exclusive. Even if you could actually bring yourself to believe in one, it could be completely false.

With all these, I find it best just to look at the lack of evidence for a God, and the evidence against one, and come to the logical conclusion that there is no God.

If you read me post it goes something like this:

So basically you have no way to combat his argument, not to mention your spelling is brutal.

It hasn't even gotten to page two, and more than half the posts are flame posts. I'm closing this now to end it before it becomes worse.
