		<description><![CDATA[alright christains, religion is a betting game.  who can pick the right God and make it to the afterlife.  so out of the hundreds of religions you all have your ticket on jesus.  and the islamic have theirs.  and so did the greeks with zeus.  the simple fact is that i don&#039;t like to gamble.  especially when the Grand prize has not been presented to me.  I have no clue that i will even get it.  so i prefer to save my money and time instead of buying a ticket(church, praying every night, obeying God, etc.) and spend it on something else.  For in the end there will be only one winner, and all of those who had hope will be crushed.  however how can those be crushed who didn&#039;t have hope in the first place?  i myself will say fuck off to any creator who kills if they are not recognized.  a true understanding God will realize that it has created a being that has the ability of comprehension, and with that they expect logic for proof.  otherwise this God is just a kid; if he doesn&#039;t get what he wants then all hell breaks loose.  well i&#039;d like to see that hell, for then i have angered the almighty.  Showing that even the bible&#039;s God is not perfect.  just a silly greedy boy wanting attention.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[20.Luis said …

“Reminds me of my neighbor whose son wrecked the car and blamed his dad for buying the car.&quot;

Reminds me of the many stupid comments that I read on this blog.

How did the son know who bought the car for him? The car wasn&#039;t anonymously given to him, was it? No, it was obvious and known by all to see that the dad gave it to him. Not only that, it&#039;s obvious who designed and made the car. And did the dad eternally punish the his son for wrecking the car? No, of course not. His dad still loves him and possibly replaced the car.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[23 DPK
&quot;I doubt that such a being would be so petty as to punish me for all eternity for the crime of not believing in him.&quot;

Don&#039;t expect an answer!
From time to time I pose the same question, stressing the fact that my ONLY &quot;crime&quot; is in my disbelieving in god(s) (who never made any effort to convine me he/tehy/she/it exist), because I live a decent, honest, responsibe and joyful life.

They NEVER (NEVER, EVER!) answer such questions!
They just pretend such questions do not exist.

They also NEVER answer questions about why is Christianity better than Islam (or v.v.)!

Some questions they do answer, using circular reasoning and many other false logical tools, most of which are based on &quot;negative&quot; conclusions, such as: universe is complex, so it could not exist withou creator.

But question you posed they NEVER answer!]]></description>

&quot;If you are dying and convert, then what does it hurt?&quot;

If I wished to convert, shall I convert to Islam(and which denominations) or to Christian (which denomination)?
To avoid wrong choice, I expect your kind explanation, thank you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;What if you&#039;re wrong?&quot;

If, at the end of things, if I am completely wrong and humans do transcend their bodies and get to me the designer and creator of all the universe, and whatever else is beyond, before, and after... I doubt that such a being would be so petty as to punish me for all eternity for the crime of not believing in him.
Such an amazing intelligence would not require worship. That would be like me killing my dog with sledge hammer for not coming when I called him. We would call such a dog owner an insane monster.

But I doubt it. There is no evidence to indicate that consciousness survives the death of the brain.

If you are trembling in fear before the concept of a vengeful and jealous god, go ahead and pretend you believe in him and live your life believing in superstitions and other foolishness. 

But answer this, if you are a Christian, and you believe in god, you believe he loves you, and you believe he is looking out for you, the next time you or someone you love is seriously sick, will you go to a doctor or a priest?
Will you scoff at the &quot;lies&quot; of science? Will you trust Jesus to make you better?
Do you &quot;really&quot; believe, or do you know how to compartmentalize your faith with reality?]]></description>
