-If there were no Heaven waiting for you when you die.....
-If there WAS a GOD, but he didn't do things like help you find love, a job, or a cure (because it isn't his responsibility).....
-If there was no Jesus waiting to vouch for you.....
-If there were no special powers awarded to believers.....
-If there was no Hell after death (to fear).....
-If being a Christian didn't make you any better than anybody else (saved or otherwise).....
-If there were no superhero-like Angels that "had your back".....
-If the only punishment your tormentors would recieve was the fruit of their own bad judgement.....
-If Old Testament Judism was perfect (when properly practiced)...
-If Jesus Himself said, "NOT ME, YOU IDIOT, HIM!! JESUS CHRIST!!"...
-If Brittish Nobility practiced Buddhism...
-If all you were promised were the benifits and prosperity that accompanied a peaceful, honorable existence...
Would you still want to be a Christian?

Hahaha...sure they would. I don't think that they would. All I ever hear about when I tell someone that I'm an atheist is that I'm going to hell. Wow, it sure seems to me that they only believe out of fear. As for myself, I am happy living with the benefits and prosperity that accompany a peaceful, honorable existence. I don't need a religion for that!! Thanks for the question even though I'm not a Christian!! ;0)

Yep, I most definitely would. At least I would know that I died with good Character. Because the Bible teaches you to Love. I dont understand humans....God gave us free will to create whatever kind of life we wanted to and we complain....but if God gave us everything and controlled us like puppets...People would still complain. How do you make people happy? No one wants to take responsibility for himself....Everyone wants to pass the buck down! and God gets all of that! Oh God, this and that but have anyone ever ever thought for a second that maybe it's something you did? If you want to be a crackhead how then could God say NO, tomorrow you will no longer smoke Crack? Is that fair? No, so he waits until your ready in your heart to change.... you FREEWILL!

Not sure what you mean by "If Old Testament Judaism was perfect (when properly practiced)". I ask because your hypothesis allowed that there was a God. The g-d that Judaism worships is one who DOES help you. JEHOVAH-JIREH is Hebrew for "the G-D who provides". JEHOVAH-ROPHE is Hebrew for "the G-D who heals". So I would still worship the Jewish God, although he is seen as EL-BERITH, God of the Covenant. If, as your hypothesis states, Jesus was not who he said he was, then no one would be a Christian since the word "Christian" means "little Christ".

I believe the place you are talking about does exist and you mentioned it yourself. Most of the things you mentioned are exactly what you are going to get when you believe in Lucifer with the exception of prosperity and a peaceful existence. Sounds like the devil is speaking through you. (I am not saying YOU are the devil) but that he is using you for his mouth piece. Don't believe, don't worship, don't care, No one is helping you, no one is there for you. YOU are all alone. Good work Lucifer it sounds like you are getting another soul.

they at the instant are not Jews simply by fact Jew's do not have faith the messiah has come yet. they don't have faith Jesus so believing in Jesus and asserting your Jewish for sure contradicts one yet another.... it fairly is unhappy that there are those Evangelist Christians that decision themselves "Jews". quit this custom now, your disgracing the two Judaism and Christianity.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!!!!!!
I would rather live the life of a christian and find out there is no truth in it after I die. Than live a life of a non-christian and find out that there is truth in it. Life is good either way.

My Father's way
may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache;
But in my heart
I'm glad I know,
HE MAKETH NO MISTAKE.

That's what you say.
My faith is in Jesus.
My Jesus is not a liar.
Man may change his word but my Jesus will never.
And I know whom I believe.
