but that's not faith. besides, i figure when i die, and there isn't an afterlife, i won't know if i was 'right' or 'wrong'. i'll be dead. but if there is a god, i'll be the same way i was when i was a kid and mom was right, and i was wrong....hey, my bad-i thought i knew better. but imo, playing you believe is no better then just not believing, and not worrying about it.

i mean, i'm going to burn in hell because i didn't subscribe to a certain church, and give them 10%?
