To me it seems to me it don't matter if your creationist or a scientist who believes in the big bang theory
Ask a creationist where god came from Oh he has always been You need faith
The scientist says the cosmos was originally one huge mass of rock It exploded stating the universe Where did that rock come from Again it must come down to a belief it was there So faith
They are both religions to me
Spot on, Happy
It doesn't matter a Tinker's cuss what we think or don't think.
It matters not, as there is only one truth and that truth is not affected at all by what you or I think, believe or perceive.
One day, we will either find out that there is God, or we will just die. The Bible says that it is given for each man to die....
Soooo, here is our choice. We can adopt a faith, which encourages us to live a life that is "good". If God is true, then there is potential for us to receive a reward and we would have lived a "good" life.
Or, we can decide to live a life that is "good". If God is true, but we don't believe, then there is a question regarding the reward. If God is false, at least we have lived a life that was "good".
Or, we can be totally hedonistic; f*ck the system; f*ck being good; f*ck you all, you mob of c*nts. I'll do what the f*ck I like. If God is true, then you are headed for the pit. If not, then you have been very, very unhappy and have made a lot of other people very, very unhappy. If God is false, then you have still lived a very unhappy and selfish life.
Now, I know, without doubt that there really is no such person as a true altruist. It just doesn't happen. We all want something, even if it is just the publicity (Mother Theresa springs to mind as an ideal example). So, just living a "good" life brings it's own rewards and that may be enough, but just imagine if you could enjoy your life AND collect a reward afterwards.
If God is true, then it is win-win. If I were a betting man, that's where my money would go. I just couldn't lose.
