Re: beat: softest table i\'ve ever encountered and all were bible-humpe
i always laugh when people try and have a serious convo that god exists. i always say that i have faith and pray to a celestial teapot that lives in the universe and can't be seen. i say it gives me the confidence etc to live my life.
then the religiousers call me stupid and that the teapot dont exist and how i can believe that [censored]? i mention a pot kettle black situation and walk off laughing |

[/ QUOTE ] Pascal's Wager only functions in an absolute vacuum where you either believe in a Christian God or don't. He does not take into account the possible negative EV of believing in the WRONG god. If we believe in a Christian God, but it actually turns out that it is the Muslim god that awaits us, then it is a possibility that it's slightly higher EV not to believe in any god instead of angering him by believing in the wrong god. DUCY? |

Re: beat: softest table i\'ve ever encountered and all were bible-humpe
1) If there is a god who qualified a good life solely by my belief in him, I wouldn't want to be in His heaven anyway.
2) I have never tried to convert anyone to atheism, but I have told people to shut up. |

When did this place become SMP?
And I can't believe that there are people out there who try to use pascal's wager as a reason to believe in god. |

Re: beat: softest table i\'ve ever encountered and all were bible-humpe
Even tho I sometimes question religion I have been since I was a kid especially around 12 when I lost my best friend. If I had thought he was just gone and that was it and had not gone to heaven i woudlve been devestated. Instead I got thru it cause I knew he was happy and to this day I guess I still believe in it.
