Pascal's Wager; he basically says to believe in God "just in case"

I always wondered from PHI classes, if people go by this, does it work for them.

If I smited my neighbor for working on the sabbath and my defense is that I did it in the name of god because Exodus says so, should the judge dismiss all charges against me?

Does the secular community at large mostly believe a scientific/skeptical worldview, or have they replaced religion with beliefs in UFOs, magnet therapy, auras, psychics, astrology & the like?

OK READ THIS FIRST PLEASE, DO NOT PUT DOWN OTHER PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS, please just state what you believe.

What are your thoughts on morals?
Life after death?
Who is your creator?
The meaning of life?
How do you practice your religion?
What do you love most about it?

I love my religion, I am Catholic. I get so upset when ppl put down Catholics they're just stupid. You shouldn't put down any religion as a whole. Anywho, I believe after we die we go to heaven, pergatory, or hell. I believe we have no pain, no anxiety, only love and we get to be closer to God. I try to go to church once a week and I love my priest to death. He is 80 something and is so smart and inspirational! People actually clap after his homilies! Yep, I love being a Catholic, and I feel it creates a great sense of purity. I love being a Christian, and love how people are drawn together by similarities!
So yeah basically I take interest in knowing the similarities/differences and beautiful aspect in all.

I read it when I was studying the bible with a Jehovah's Witness. Actually, I read it on my own while studying because I wanted to balance out their push for me to "just believe" with my desire to test facts.

Any opinions on this book by George H. Smith?

If everybody spent 1/2 the time, that those people spend on trying to disprove Jesus, on applying his teachings to their life (work, home, school, all aspects of your life) the world would be such a wonderful place to live. You don't even have to believe he exists to do that!!

This is where i get confused, that Jesus died on the cross and went to hell or hades to get the key to death from Satan

To me that put him in Hell?

but then it says I think in Revelations that he would be bond on earth for a thousand years?

I may have that one wrong or mis understanding it, Revelations is very hard for me, I feel mental for a few days after I read it it.

I have vivid and powerful dreams that are disturbing. I am wondering if this means something, or if it is just the product of an over active imagination. For those who believe, any sources of information is appreciated.

I'm really quite surprised you look so small-not a king at all.We all know that you are news-but are you king? King of the Jews?

There is an enormous amount of evidence that would suggest that the Bible has been edited and entire books left out of it's text either because the church viewed it as unnecessary to add, a possible forgery(Gospel According to Mary), or contrary to the teachings of the church.And even well studied Roman Catholic Priests and other ordained and educated clergy of various Christian faiths and denominations have admited that it is true that some books were intentionally left out.But if this is true it could change the very foundation of our faith and even views on many things.Things that many don't want changed.What do you think?

They do the following acts.
1) They call Muhammad pbuh a false prophet.
2) They mock my ways of prayer, Quran and my Allah.
I want to tell them
1) A good person never compare and discriminate, if you got better religion and better prophet, it is good for you.
2)Christians were not taught to hate by Jesus.
3) Mohammad was one of the best known noble person in Arabia, so how can that person turn into evil all of sudden?
4)My Allah is the same God who created Adam and Eve. By hating Allah you hate God of Adam and Abraham.
5)They sketch my prophet, they know very well that i can not hate Jesus, so they disrespect my prophet.
This is non healthey and uncivilized way, there are plenty ways to talk about differences in friendly atmosphere.
and finally with such actions of hate, people of our religions will become atheists, so please stop these ways.

And his tail drew the third of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
