You have a right to your opinion. Everybody respects that.
What smacks of intellectual dishonesty and emotional
disorientation is your apparent disinclination to allow any
contrary opinions equal right... if they collide with your own.
Why do you think that poisoning your grandchildren will not kill them?
Why don't you practice what you preach and pour cyanide into the water of your town's supply. Hey, if everybody dies, you had nothing to do with it, it was the will of god.
One word: insane!

Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus (cup and rock your arms)
We love you, We love you (hug yourself)
We’re going to heaven, going to heaven (point upwards)
Thank you, Thank you (prayerful hands)

If there is no God and I believe in Christ, I have nothing to
lose.
Surely, if that magician is fake, and you have destroyed the earth and poisoned your offspring, then you have everything to lose.
Are you a rapture index believer? http://www.raptureready.com/rap2.html
or are you this guy? "so you think if no one believed in any religion there would be no wars or fighting? i think it would be worse. i know if i didn't fear god's judgement i would have killed many many times."

There is a pervasive belief on these forums that man would have acted differently without christianity.

"Ivan, the Creator of the universe is quite capable of sustaining
all of the spheres in accordance with His design and purpose.
It is the very epitomy of unbridled arrogance to even imagine
that His omniscience did not anticipate the invetiable pollution
of human occupation of the earth, make intricate (van allen belt
and other) provision for perpetuity and the continuation of human
life on earth... and it is assininity personified to fatuously assume
that our feeble help is required to provide any assistance at all,
other than to take out the trash. We need Him. He doesn't need us.
Edit:
Rest easy and sleep well, my friend. Only genuine concern you and I
really have is the permanent destination/address of our eternal souls."
where he explicitly states that one should have no regard for anything apart from ensuring everlasting life in heaven. Not, in my opinion representative of christianity.

Bobby is entitled to his opinion.
Followers of Atheo are entitled to theirs.
Foillowers of Mohammed are also entitled to believe what they believe.
It is the height of arrogance to say, "my beliefs are correct and yours are not."

In each religion though especially islam it is said in one way or another not to believe the other religions...so by following their religion they have to say, "my beliefs are correct and yours are not."

rating, seems that once again you've lapsed into simplistically taking
words out of context. The words belong to Blaise Pascal. Lifting one
sentence from his 17th Century "Wager" to angrily pose your own hot
environmental concern driven question does attest to your fervent
belief in Al Gore's self serving agenda... but is at a total tangent to the
existence of an Eternal God and permanence of soul life conversation.
Originally posted by Red NightI don't think this is about beliefs at all. I think it's about whether you accept responsibility for your behaviour or whether you make excuses. It doesn't really matter whether these excuses are based in Christianity, atheism, politics or whatever.
