Pascal did insist, however, that if you bet on God and he turned out not to exist, then you lose nothing. And he was as wrong then as the idiots who use it as a smug attempted last word, are today. Because he and they imagine there can only be one possible god to believe in, and only one possible carrot and stick. And stupidly project this onto everybody else. Anybody who uses Pascal's wager should become a Muslim because at least there's sex in the Islamic Paradise. Not necessarily, you could still fall into the "avoiding the wrong hell" trap. There may be some, as yet undiscovered, deity with other requirements for us. This deity may punish those who have followed superstition for self reward and reward those who have made decisions based only on the evidence. Atheists may be the only ones who go to heaven, with all the rest burning in hell. regards, Ian Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Ken Guest Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2008 6:22 pm    Post subject: Re: Any assholes in here?

Can you tell us for which god you want to know this ? And why do you suppose that anyone would want to investigate on the possible existence of those gods ? There so many supposed gods, most of them exclusive from the others, and very few proof than any of them would ever "exist" ? What means "to exist" for a god ?

You moved away from being an atheist because you had a completely erroneous understanding of how evolution works and therefore couldn't believe it? So, you took up a belief in god. Bearing mind you were being so insistent on a full understanding of evolution, can you let us have the good, convincing evidence *for* the existence of this god, and why you chose this one and not one of the others? Bearing in mind your high standards, you obviously had a high standard of evidence to make this decision, didn't you? regards, Ian Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor muzz Guest Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 9:20 am    Post subject: Re: Any ex christians here?

It was all rather untraumatic, more like "oh, God doesn't exist after all" rather than some Damascus road experience. For me it was like when I realised that Santa Claus didn't exist. Although I was far more disappointed about Santa. -- Muzz http://highlandmist.blogspot.com/ Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Philosophu Talk Forum Index -> Philosophu Talk All times are GMT Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3 Page 3 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum Philosophu Talk----------------Philosophu Talk  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Australian Debt Consolidation Experts medical insurance Wedding Website Escorts Incalll and Outcall in Modena, Bologna, Parma, Ferrara, Forli' ...
