Cons: Tithing, standing up and singing, being forced to go to church when younger, some dood is "watching" over all of us, etc.

Pro: not wanting to commit suicide because nothing in this life matters in the long run and most of life is a depressing mess.

Anything to keep the poor from killing the rich...which is why it was invented.

Only if 60-100 years isn't long enough to be "the long run"

Who cares how long it takes.

Your ass is going in a box sooner or later and no one is going to give a crap how rich you were or if you were nice or not a mere generation after you bite it. MMMMMM makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

So w/o religion you would feel like committing suicide?

yeah, but you get the next 1 day-60 years to think about it.

I am all for it as long as your religion doesn't make you kill people or you aren't one of those assholes that insists that your religion is the best and that I am an bad person for not thinking so.

I've found that people who are certain there is no god are extremely smug.

I don't like either of these types of people. In addition to being smug, they're also usually really naive.

I like it when members of one religion call the origins of another religion crazy.

You all should investigate, everything, much, much more than you have.

You should start immediately, you may not have a lot of time.

Maybe go beyond googling, for example.

I worry that God(s?) thinks we are trying to punch him (her/them) when we fist pump?

Best to do the sideways fistpump obviously.

You're either dumb, unaware, or lazy if you haven't made it at least a top 5 goal to seek an answer for 1. who you are and 2. why you're here.

No offense, all.

PM with questions.

pike · « **Reply #42 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:04:48 PM »

Who cares "why" were here? We just are. I don't need some God to help me figure out "why".

Heaven sounds really nice.

I wonder what happened in Heaven in 1998. I have an idea...

But I always kind of thought that I would enjoy the company of those in hell better.

I would love to read the bible someday if they made it a lot shorter and easier to read. With pictures and stuff.

PM me with how it ends when you're done. Thnx.

Well they certainly have children's Bibles which would probably be exactly what you are looking for. But seriously a viable option for a lot of people is to check out the audiobook version of the Bible and listen to it in your car, thus you wouldn't have to take the time to sit down and read it which is a rather daunting task.

Nicname's religious/ thiestic time line

0-3 no idea

4-12 or so - Christian unquestioning

12 or so - 26 - began questioning eventually developed into agnosticism

26 and to current - came to believe (to me personally) that christianity (outside of some crap that I think was developed by the church ie. people) is pretty much the most fullfilling way to live life.

I still struggle with things, but I definitely enjoy life a lot more now from my current perspective.

Good way to put it. I was atheist for a while because I didn't know how to separate what the Bible says, and what people say. It's pretty incredible how many things get translated inaccurately to the common public.

While playing darts at Fat's tonight, I had a turn that spoke to my spiritual side. The first dart: a triple 6. The second: another triple 6. The third, while not another triple, was also a 6. For those not keeping score on their own, that was a 666 for the first dart, a 666 for the second dart and a 666 for the three darts together. Altogether the three darts totaled 42 points (42 of course being the answer to life, the universe and everything. For the uneducated: Hitchhiker's Guide). All of this was obviously a reaction to my posts in this thread, as well as my thoughts and words in the last few days. In light of this fact (no pun intended), I am now a born again Christian, and have committed myself to the one and only Lord, Jesus Christ.

Darts part is totally true
