god exists, if you doubt it, then you are human, if you don't, you're still human, there is no reason to question your beliefs or faith, nor to question the beliefs or faith of others, in the end we all will die, reguardless of what we believe, then all of our questions will be answered, be a good person either way, if there is no afterlife at least you'll have had a good life

What does that mean to me? It means somebody is trying to use terrorism to convert those to their religion. Terrorism isn't just physical, it is also psychological. What if the Christian God doesn't exist? What if some other god does? When I am judged, I would rather be known to have stood up for my beliefs no matter what the consequences than to change them because of a threat.

It's a save bet; it cast's a shaddow of doubt on your whole salvation. If you have to beleave that to get throught life and feel that you are going to Heaven then you have missed the whole point of salvation. If you are saved then you beleave in your heart and there is no doubt in you heart that God is the one and only true God. Once you are saved you will go to Heaven weather you live your life accordinly or not. God will just make it shorter if you are a (for lack of a better word) "bad example" of how a Christian should act.

If you live as though you belive in God, and HE doesn't exist, you have lost nothing. Perhaps it made you live a better life. If you do'nt belive, according to some, you have lost EVERYTHING. "Dissing" God in life is a rather bad career move for eternity... However, God's mercy is infinite, and even the doubters may make their peace with him.

i would rather live as if He does exist, because then when i find out He does the reward is going to be much better...

i think it means if you live believing in God then you have the benefits of his grace, mercy, and blessing here on earth and in heaven..but if you live like he doesn't exist then, when you die it'll be a shocker to look at him and say he big guy you did exist..and have to go to hell right after.

Easy, you'd rather live life well and then find out it was in vain, then to live life like an *** and find out that you should have done everything differently.

Sounds like someone saying they want to cover their bases and pretend to believe in god rather than go with their instincts not to. It demonstrates the powerful persuasion power of religion. Fear of an all-powerful deity compels people to conform.

a very meaning phrase... where did u get it?
if i knw tht God exists thn my life'd be devoted for His happiness and satisfaction over me so tht i can be awarded or go to heaven after i die. in case if i find out tht He doesn't exist after my death, thn there's nohin to loose bcoz i did good stuff in life to make Him happy.
but if i assume tht He doesn't exist & live life in a sinful way & find out tht He exists after my death thn i'll go to hell straightway for sure... and u don't wanna o to tht place do u?!
