    Interesting questions.. there is a big difference between beleive in god and religion. I do believe in God.. though not in the religioun that man has created to serve him. The alternative is nothingness - and honestly, I enjoy having hope and faith. If you want vegas odds then here you go = if you die and their is a God then not beleiving in him your going to hell - choose to think that when you die nothing happens you still have lived a life with no regrets and lived in harmony with people.

    I'd rather be a nice guy who is considerate and kind to others than a bastard, simple as that. I like having hope and faith - keeps me honest even in business. I dont push it onto others, just live my life as well as I can and Im happy.

      Who is going to notify me when I am seconds away from death? Will it be an obvious signal, or one that I will need to interpret? When they give me the signal, will I have enough time to contemplate an "afterlife" or will I be sooo freaked out about dying that I won't be able to think about anything? Let me know asap!

      Shit man, who knew we were all going to get a death notice.

      Maybe the people who think that God is going to punish them eternally for their sins might prefer to "vanish into nothing?"

      Just a thought.

        I live my life to the fullest and I get sad every year I get older I dont want to just die. I just need enough to live a great life and pass some down my blood line that is my after life my blood running though my daughters vains
        I don't have kids but the older I get, I've become very conscious about passing down my genes. I'm a young man but I've thought about this. It's like a way for me to live on and for everything I've made and learned in life to be passed to my offspring. It would seem pointless for me to die without leaving a living part of me behind.

          Newsflash: Ethics and Morals exist separately from Religion, Faith in a Devine being and other Supernatural Concepts.


          Hope and Faith are not exclusive to the supernatural.


          Also, your "Vegas Odds" idea is very poor logic.

            When I hit a point where money wasnt as important and I had enough I wanted a child to take me to the next level and motivate me again. so I had a daughter who will be 3 in march. all my hard work is for her. that is my after life

              This Thread is Sponsored by SATANCASH .... see Sig

              With that out of the way ... I don't believe in god but i have had a few experiences that lead me to believe in a guiding energy of path ..I feel your given a path ... and then you make choses ... those choses will change that path .. you can fuck it up and deal with Karma or you can improve it ... I do believe in an after life and i feel the way you handle your path in this life determines your next path ... based on the first 25 years of my life ..I think i fucked up my last ... I'm 30 now and have truly found my way and feel I'm bettering myself and people around me ... the next one should be a breeze ..

                    I think I'd rather ride around in Hell on a Harley with a sm0king h0t chick on the back, drinking whiskey, as opposed to Heaven, where one's riding a moped and drinking mineral water. Doubt sex is allowed in Heaven either. heh

                      I don't believe in god. heaven is what you make of your life.. it's either pure hell or heaven.. There is no god. Believe in yourself. That's all you need.

                        religion is not "divine" inspiration.

                        religion is created by humans as a psycho mechanism to relieve stress, and give meaning or explain the unknown. "religious" people are neither better or worse than those who do not believe in the metaphysical.

                        it gives comfort to people if they can believe they will meet up with deceased family members in heaven, and walk on streets paved with gold and eat chocolate bon bons for eternity.

                        "religion" has existed for millions of years in various forms. you believe what you believe not because your belief system is intrinsically better or more valid than someone elses, but because of WHEN and WHERE you were born in the world---if people could understand this simple fact maybe they wouldn't get so bent out of shape about it.

                        in modern society religion is highly codified now and people take it very seriously...but the reality is that we are advanced mammals, and going to church and praying to jesus is exactly the same as a dog barking at the moon.

                        so be good to your feel humans today, this afternoon. love your children, love your significant other, and live a full good life starting right now.

                        because when you die, you are dead for a long time.

                          I believe in God. I've been brought up to believe in him all my life through my family and my education. I pray to him for things.

                            Heaven especially is a very vain concept, that somehow man is different than other living creatures. You know the religious propaganda, humans have souls and other creatures do not, etc..

                            Death is painful, but deceiving yourself about it devalues life.

                              hmmm. interesting and probably true.

                                    People believe in God because they're told by clueless family members that God exists from the day they're born. Power of suggestion at it's best. If you were told E.T. was real from the day you were born, today you would believe E.T. was real and would be worshiping him and praying to him, without ever questioning it's authenticity.

                                          I believe in a superior being, not the God from religion bullshit. What makes you think I believed in Hell or heaven? Get your facts straight, take a walk and come back here when you're ready to talk.
