I guess since the Bible says there is a god, there must be!

I guess I'll be going to Church every Sunday now.

Wait, I'm Jewish. Nix that, I'll be going to Temple every Friday and Saturday.

Wait, there are a lot more followers of Islam than of Abraham. Perhaps I'll look East or something every morning.

Wait, what about the Hindus. I better stop eating beef!

I guess I'll just become a member of all three godzillion religions we have on this Earth, to cover all my possible god angles!

I just hope the first aliens that contact us don't have their own endless supply of god beliefs, cause if they do, I'll just have to throw myself to the mercy of that invisible giant in the sky and hope she forgives me for not getting it right.

Otherwise, as the song goes, I hope I burn well.

Or not.

Is it true only Mormons get into heaven?

Shoot.

The temperature just shot up 100 degrees in this room.

I can smell a hint of sulfur too. Uh oh, I think I've done it.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the beans I ate earlier.

didn't we already do this?

if you're going to quote verse tim, quote verse.

use the entire passage, not a conveniently emasculated snippet.

bring the full fury of the words forth. and mean every one of them.

do you even know which book you're misquoting?

i enjoyed reading curt's thoughtful take.

you, on the other hand, bring the usual rigid stupidity that defines everything i detest about mindless adherence to doctrine.

i can't wait for your dimwitted monosyllabic reply.

Pascal's Wager would be a fitting argument for a "Does God exist" discussion on a horse racing forum

You enjoyed Curts take and then you chided him about it? Mighty big of you, wasn't it! You can cut the verses any way you want, but you've already answered the question in your mind, so deal with it when your time comes. It's not on me.

i didn't chide him you dullard.

this and my last post to you is chiding.

and i didn't cut verse. you did.

which book, chapter, and verse was it dimwit? I know you're too slow to actually know the answer but are you also too lazy to look it up?

you have no have faith. you have blind obedience. there's a world of difference between that and what curt expressed. he's come to his beliefs through a struggle.

you should try it sometime.

you don't know anything of my struggles, and you follow the same line of reasoning that makes you ridicule anything that upsets your myopic view of God. I don't care anything about what you say, you've stated your positions
ad nauseum. You are correct that we've been over this before,and I haven't changed my opinion. Carry on....

I'm an atheist.
I went a little crazy and tried to be agnostic for a few years....but logic and basic common sense got the better of me.
So I went back to atheist.
