Just because they don't believe doesn't mean it isn't true

I'm a true agnostic. Wherever I go it will be a journey or it will be the end. Be interesting if there is a god and radical Muslims and extreme Christians are there side by side in his grace but us undecideds and critical thinkers are left in limbo.

No offence, pal, but agnostics aren't critical thinkers. No in my book, anyway.

Let's just assume If there is a God he will punish you for eternity for not believing in that God, then atheists will go to Hell..

How come Adam and Eve have belly buttons? What's that all about?
Re: where do atheists go when they die ?

Adam told Eve it was a lift button and that she had to press it every time she went down.

This is the part where I ask you to prove it.
You'll then ask me to disprove it.
The answer to that is if the god squad want people to believe then they've got to prove to people that God exists.
Until they can do that, atheists wont believe, because there is nothing to believe in.
Once humanity can get past the need to have a god as the focal point in their life then the world will be a much better place.

The paradox is faith. Religion expects man to have total faith in something beyond science and yet total lack of faith in everything else i.e. a rational mind.
Cutsy you only end up in Barlick if you've spent your life in a*sewipe.
There is only one orgainzed atheist group and that's Buddhism, which is not religion but an atheist philosophy, so maybe ask them but don't bother as they're too busy licking the nuts of a medieval feudal lord.

One can prove a simulacrum of God by revealing transcendental order. If one can even create a simulacrum of an omnipotent being then there's a fair chance that the real thing could be:

Personally i think that the burden of evidence should be to prove that something does exist rather than to proof it does not exist. Russell's teapot is a classic argument about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But hey whatever, you and I are are free to believe whatever we want to. And i look forward to my supposed eternity in the warm glow of hellfire.

I beg to differ Sidney. I've thought about this before and questioned whether the world would be a better place without religion and my theory is that it wouldn't because I believe that there are too many people being good for the wrong reasons in fear of repercussions from God that the world would decend into chaos with these people without it.

As none of us knew we were going to be born or what a world we would inhabit, or that we might comprehend aspects of it, the best guess if we have no idea what happens after death, life was a miracle, death may be also.

Living life as if it has a purpose is better than living it as if it really didn't matter.
It's when life matters that the worst and best of human action is seen.

There are two problems there.KLClaret wrote:How come Adam and Eve have belly buttons? What's that all about?
1) As Adam was not of woman born he had no umbilicus
2) As Eve was fashioned out of Adam's rib she would be genetically identical to him and thus genetically XY. To be phenotypically female he would have to have XY Gonadal dysgenesis aka Swyer Syndrome. She/he would be infertile and not able to have had Cain and Abel.
Someone writing Genesis, like reporting to Houston, had a problem.
