plus, let's just say that you're right. there's no God.. what am i gonna lose? nothing cause then by the same means, there's no heaven or hell. but let's think for a minute. what if i'm right and there IS a God. what do u have to lose? everything...

Honda_Gurl, I think you're cool and I totally respect your religiousness, but your argument is atrocious.

If I am motivated by the fear of hell eternal, and for this reason I become religious, do I have true faith? IMO, no. Further, with the knowledge than if I don't believe in God and there is a god I might be punished, then is it even possible for me to develop faith?

I think you can, and I do, every day. The search is what separates man from machine.

Alternately, for you who do believe in a God - if you could find out there wasn't a god, would you try? I know, I'll probably get the "I know there's a God, so there's no point trying to disprove it to myself" reply, but it's worth a shot...

Right... and we know that's historically accurate...
