Now, do take this as me NOT trying attack you in anyway as you can believe in what you want to believe in whatever form or fashion you want to. Great thing about being Human (especially in America) is the freedom of choice.

Just want to address some of your questions

They do what they do because that is what they feel is right and ethically correct. In their reality (as screwed up as it may be for us) that is what they believe to be righteous and serving their god and their people.


Car insurance? Now, we have to pay a fee of X amount of money a month just to be safe and to have a back up plan just in case something goes wrong, eh? Dude, come on.
To touch on the analogy, some religions may have a fee, but its not just religions on a "god" standard, but can be anything as far as an organization or grouping of people... be it a dues, initiation, etc.


And to me, it's stupid to include religion in your life. You don't need it nor do you need to waste your time on some imaginary just to 'be on the safe side.' I for one do believe in something higer, something that we can't comprehend.

Is it a God? No, is it some guy who walked around 2000 something years ago? No. I don't know what it is so I'd rather not put a name to it. Make sense? Or should I go ahead and post a figure of what I think it is?
Believe in what you want to, again the freedom of choice. Just like the above suicide bombers, they made their choice to die for what they believed in. Just like how soldiers die for their country all the time. There is a faith there, a belief that what they are doing serves a greater purpose than their own..



I'm not willing to die for shit because I'm not a crazy ass lunatic.

Only religious nut cases go to that extreme. Why the hell should I do such ridiculous shit just to prove a point? Hahaha, religious people get asked the same question all the time. And what do they answer with? "Uhh, well, Jesus Christ still has a plan for me blah blah." Why can't they just say their a bunch of pussies and move on with their lifes?
Compare your meaning of a religious nut case and hold them side by side to a car enthusiast nut case. Some people are so deep into making their cars the fastest, prettiest, etc that they can spend their whole lifetime doing only that. I'm sure many people here and all have street raced before or even in a race before... not really the safest thing to do, but you do it because you believe in what you do, what your hands can build... etc. You are still doing something that you yourself believe in.

Are the "Evil Spirits" the police in this analogy? What if you do have car insurance and you fuck up? You're not covered - you have to pay. So if religion is like that - do you have to pay in, which way? Money, time in hell? Please tell me, I'm curious.

And also, you have many car insurance companies.
How do I know I will get covered as good as the other company? Would I be safer with a certain one then I would be with another?

I don't know about you man but I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Going back on the insurance analogy, it's not the "evil Spirits" but the comparison of an afterlife if at all. If you have car insurance and you get into an accident, you are in a sense protected... but who is to say that you would ever get into an accident? That is the whole business of insurance after all... "the just in case something happens." If something does happen and you have insurance, great (hopefully you don't have to pay anything)... if something happens and you don't have insurance... your gunna get spanked in the wallet. The analogy of religion as insurance can be drawn using that principle... is that why I believe in my faith? No, not for me... for others it may very well be.

And yes you do have multiple insurance companies to choose from and like anyone else, they'd refer you to their insurance company OR the best one they've had... likewise, religions would do the same.

Touching back from the beginning, the great thing about being human in America is that you have the freedom of choice. Choose what insurance company you want to go with, the extent of your coverage, etc... but it doesn't end there for choices... you can also choose to do you're homework on who gives you the greatest benefits of insuring with them. The same holds true for religions... do your homework if you CHOOSE to join one. If not, then more power to you... again, freedom of choice.
