rest assured that there is a life after death. i will not argue or debate it but if you need truth and fact to base your belief on do some research and see which "bible" is the most historicaly correct. Or if you need "prophetic proof", again do some reading and see. Yes as mentioned before the Christians and muslims believe close to the same thing about the after life and yes the do not like each other. BUt guess what, that is mentioned in the Bible. When Jacob and Esau parted ways it is told that the two families will allways be against each other. Hence the constant fighting between the muslims and Christians. God is real and the line is drawn. No, He will not come after you to make you see you must seek that out for yourself. The choice is yours to make, don't make your life a crap shoot, seek the answers for yourself. No one will be able to "convince" anyone. All a person can do is present the evidence "if you will" and each person must make their own choice. Make sure that the choice you make is the one you can live with.

Speaking of having a look for oneself, I bought the paperback edition of "The God Delusion" today, it's been alternately lauded and lambasted both in these forums and elsewhere, so I decided to find out what all the fuss was about.

The front of the hardcover was very shiny... hopefully you won't be missing out on that.

Well, it's sort of red and white I think, I'm more interested in the contents anyway.

I figured the contents would be the same. My copy is just more attractive to squirrels. I see that as a plus.

But you wouldn't mind a squirrel with some extra legs, or even one that poops to see

Meh, it would take a lot longer to get to that point in squirrels. I'd get tired of them before that point.

If you're going to devote your life to something, it helps to know why.

Not to mention it loses credibility to those whose faith isn't so blind.

So you're saying there's something wrong with a person that lived her/his live for Jesus unless they questioned it?


there's something wrong with a person who has to conduct their life based on what someone else says or does rather than work it out themselves...why can't they figure out for themselves what's a healthy, appropriate, productive and acceptable way to lead their life and treat other people without having to model it on someone who might never have existed...no actually some people do need some help on this and modelling their behaviour based on a good example (whether it's a not real person or a real person) is necessary for some people who need all the help they can get

It was more of an exagerated example because I don't think AllwaysAmbrose really believes blind faith is a bad thing, even if he's like me and want's to try to figure some things out.

I think blind faith is fine, weather it be in God or something easier to imagine as real.

Some theorys don't need to be tested to have value.

meh........ this sounds like a repeat of the "are atheists smarter than theists?" thread but much simpler. until I can find the true answer, when a person dies, i believe, that if they haven't completed their job on earth yet, they come back and finish it, and if they do complete their job, they go to heaven
I do it because I can

I can because I want to

I want to because you said I couldn't

Christianity is not the only thing that requires blind faith. One who believes in evolution requires blind faith. and one who is an atheist also has blind faith, they just don't realize it.

Yes you are absollutely right i had never thought of that AAAAAAAAAAGH
please dont post again. You see, posting requires a semblance of rational thought, and blind faith is obviously your department. Blind being the operative word.
All the best!

While atheism might arguably require some sort of faith, depending on how you define 'atheism' and 'faith', I really do not see how you can possibly arrive at the conclusion that the opinion that the theory of evolution is in essence correct requires faith, whether blind or seeing. Darwin proposed his theory after examining a load of evidence, it has since been refined, expanded and revised time and time again, always as a result of new empirical evidence and new scientific methods. How does the opinion that evolution is an existing natural process require faith?

Oh hang on hang on! I want to try this game too....


Erm, let me see... anybody who has ever seen a chicken has a left femur made of a omlette and gingerbread-wine.

Woo! I am the winner!!!!!1



Now, if you're determined to try this debating thing, go back to your quoted statement and try justifying it with some kind of rational argument. Blithe statments unsupported by fact or logic just make you sound like an idiot.

Good luck.
