When you say "know", that is the same as our faith, correct?

I don't understand your question, please elaborate.Originally Posted by RKO2004
But what about the people who don't focus on the after life or dying, but just improving the world around them? Is it still a crutch?Originally Posted by FIRST B0RN
You're still bent out of shape for getting called insecure?Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
And how does that make him insecure exactly? I swear people throw that word around too much.
Back to the topic:
I personally believe religion is a hoax and for the weak minded. Human beings need a crutch to combat the fear of dying. The very thought of "lights out, nothing happens" terrifies the %$+% out of a majority of people.
I would RATHER believe in something and find out that it was false and there are no repercussions.What situation would you rather find yaself in, one where u believe in sumthin and find out that it was false and there are no repercussions, or one where you dont belive in sumthin and it turns out to be real and then theres Hell to pay? Just puttin the question out there, since I see so much bashin of ppl who believe in religion and a higher power.
This was ALWAYS my thought process.What the OP is describing is called Pascal's Wager. The problem with it though is that if there really is a God and he has the powers people speak of and you fear, he will know your intentions. If he is an all powerful being, do you really think you can beat him on a technicality by saying you will believe just in case so you don't go to hell? Answer is no. By the way, I do not believe in religion.
Why are you assuming that if you believe in something and it's false there's no repercissions?What situation would you rather find yaself in, one where u believe in sumthin and find out that it was false and there are no repercussions, or one where you dont belive in sumthin and it turns out to be real and then theres Hell to pay? Just puttin the question out there, since I see so much bashin of ppl who believe in religion and a higher power.
I know the thread about this was locked but this is pretty powerful stuff.
