It doesn't matter what religion I follow...

So, in the case of me, someone who does not accept that there is a separate-god-entity (I might use 'god' to describe simply everything that is), my original claim is true?

I suppose that was easy. 🙂

Right?!

According to who?

Gah, you don't need to always look elsewhere for an opinion. Share your own. That's all I'm doing.

Sorry, but the statement that 'no one will notice or care' just seems blatantly false. For starters, the others that you might now mistreat because it "doesn't matter" will notice.

The real angst in the statement is that all things are just temporary. But why do things cease to matter simply because they are temporary? That doesn't make sense to me.

My opinion is ours don't matter if God is real, we need to His views not our own.

Who said anything about whether God was real or not? Not I.

Besides, your position is false. Even if you keep to God's views, you are also keeping to your own view that God is trustworthy.

Funny you asked for my opinion and I give it, and you still call it wrong.

If a religion in fact incites wrongdoing, then I contend the real problem is that said religious follower(s) stopped treating others well. The twisted religion is only a symptom.

I fail to see the humor in it. 😕

That is a dichotomy (a rather trivial one) and not a "false dichotomy" one.
