For the atheists - a choice of belief.
I'm a strong atheist, and have often pondered this question myself, so I ask this question for you other atheists/agnostics/undecided/skeptics out there: If some existing religious or near-religious belief system was suddenly proved to be true, which one would you rather it should be, and why? |

Re: For the atheists - a choice of belief.
Well, the 72 virgin offer sounds pretty good right now.
what else is on the table? I'll allergic to feathers and harp music is too placid for me so that eliminates some. I'm not sure how one could be proven true so I'm floundering here. If I woke up in hell, agaaaainn, I'd just as soon that wasn't the proof I was looking for. Actually, I think this 'wishing' just doesn't suit me, I just seem to prod along and deal with what pops up. Maybe other answers will stir something. luckyme |

Regardless of anyone else calling him that, I like the nickname and will continue to use it. I will never meet him in person so hey its my peragative, I do hope it it sticks, though.

Probably the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Just because it would be ironic. I am not sure what's gonna happen because of all those jokes cracked at his expense though.

None. Maybe some of new agey religious belief systems such as described in Conversations With God
