Is anyone familiar with
Occam's Razor? The most logical explanation for something is the least complex one. This leads to "I see no God, therefore there is no God." Well, guess what? I'm not going to take sides. As Yoda would say, "My opinion matters not." Please take from Occam's Razor whatever you would like.
Regarding the Bible. It was written by Man as an
interpretation of the "word of God". Any chance there were mistakes?
Regarding sin. What better way to keep the weak-minded from "misbehaving" than the threat of eternal damnation? If the only reason for a holier than thou attitude is to avoid going to hell, what the f is the point? Sacrifice personal freedom and enjoyment of life on the hope that there is a better life after death? One has to admit that one might be missing the only opportunity to enjoy consciousness. I refer back to Honda_Gurl's argument about what do you have to lose. I'm not picking on her. There's nothing wrong or right with living like there is/is not a God/Gods. I'll use the Mormon ritual of not using anything habit-forming. Can anyone honestly say that drinking beverages containing caffeine is reason enough to spend eternity in hell? What about the seven original sins.... Whoops, I got sucked in. Have a nice thread! Debating religion is interesting but difficult in person. Online, I say next to impossible, it is... Happy Honda'ing!!!!
