Let me ask you a question. How exactly would I be wasting my life. Maybe an hour every Sunday, plus a few hours here and there volunteering to help the less fortunate. Which is nice for people to do anyway. Plus a few hours here or there reading up on the bible, or trying to spread the word.Originally Posted by DynamicSound
Lets give 2 examples
Me - Spent parts of my days going to church or helping people out. When i Die 2 things will happen. Either I (and other Christians) are right and there is a God. We go to heaven and live a happy eternal life. As it has been promised to us. Or there is no God as you believe. Nothing happens when I die, but at least I spent my life in Good spirits and helping people.
You - Doing whatever you do, same as me but without the church and maybe without the volunteering. (maybe you do, maybe you don't, people don't have to be a Christian to help people) When you die, if your wrong you will spend eternity in Hell, being tortured. Or there is no God and nothing happens when you die. How much more out of life did you get than me.
I still spent my days happy, pleased with myself and with God or without as you see it. Maybe you were happy too. So if there is a God we will have completely different endings. If there is not, we will end up the same. I haven't wasted anything.
I could see how someone could believe that "Religion" was made up by men to keep people in line. I don't agree with it, but i can definitely see the other side. But how could you think there is no God. Look around. How could the ECO system, the animals, the food chain, the oceans and everything in this world and Universe be put together by chance. Its beyond impossible. Even the Albert Eisenstein said that even if he didn't believe in Religion, he believes there is a God.
