It's just more unusual and I'm a bit curious.

I claim no Denomination.
My mom read me the Bible and taught me form it growing up. I also have read a good deal of the Bible. If I do attend Church I attend a Catholic Church because a Priest there saved my life. Id be dead or in jail if it werent for him.
I try to lead a Moral life, help those that are less fortunate than I and just be as caring to others as I can pretty much.
Its comforting having faith in God.

To each their own though....

That's fine. So you don't really believe in plains of existence, it was just the choice word you used for heaven. Right?

I agree with a lot that i read... fuck its 4 pages I skimed some of it. I personally dont have anthing agaisnt regious ppl its the fanatics and antiabortion nuts i cant stand. Ppl who try to impose there believes on you every chance they get. make it a political topic, separation of church and state BS. It has good moral values which cant hurt.

The philosopher Aerostatle struggled with this topic a lot (not that i read his stuff much) - but i remmembered one thing he talked about was aethism and religion. He spent his life trying to figure it out. basically he concluede it doesnt hurt believing in god b/c if u die and your wrong it doesnt matter, whereas if ure an atheist and you die and your wrong well youll have to spend eternity in a lake of fire LOL. in short, so why not? then i think he killed himself LOL j/k

what you're talking about is referred to as Pascal's Wager. what it boils down to is that ignorance is bliss for some. others, however, would rather live what they believe to be true than waste their lives on a lie. this was hinted at in that movie 'the matrix'...would you rather sleep and dream your life away, or truly live with your eyes open, despite how ugly the world may have become? some chose ignorance, others chose life.

the biggest problem that i see with the wager is that if we are made to be the beings that we are, god would not punish us for using the very minds which he gave us. just because scripture says something on the topic does not make it so.

oh boy, i guess you are one of the fine folks that thinks evolution is a myth. lol.

so i take it you are of the belief that you came from Adam and eve who ate from magic trees.
