What if Christianity is right?

Question

And also what if Christianity is wrong?

I mean quite literally if they are right. As in if they are right, do they believe the ones who don't accept their faith will burn in their hell. And as in if they aren't right, then what are the effects of all this religious segregation that has been seperating people for so long.

Answer 1

If it's right, the universe will have validated a nonsensical belief system ...

if it's wrong, millions of people have died for nothing.

Answer 2

If by "Christianity" you mean belief in Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Trinity, well then I would say it is right as exampled by the miracles of life. I can't imagine crediting "the miracles of creation" to a game of chance as some would believe.

The real test of right or wrong would really be, if I am right, I am assured of such for eternity and if I am wrong, well then I lived my life in a manner that made it best for mankind rather than living for "the moment" and casting my soul on the wings of fate.

Answer 3

If Christianity is right, then I'm on my way to Heaven.

If Christianity is wrong, well actually there is no down side to being a Christian. Think about it. We just celebrated a big birthday bash for the Baby Jesus. Everyone got gifts. Had dinner and drinks. Gave big bucks to charity. Gosh... come to think of it even if Christianity is wrong its still right!!!!!

Answer 4

If Christianity is right, millions of people who rejected God will spend an eternity in hell a place where the Bible says, in Mark 9:44
Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
If its wrong, I'd live my life over the same way any way.(I am a Christian)

Answer 5

In either case, there will be a lot of disappointed Christians. Christianity is very separated and fragmented, and most Christians believe at least some other denominations are wrong.

Depending, groups of Jews, Christians and Muslims might all be saved either way.

Answer 6

Forget Pascal's wager. Pretending to believe won't get you anywhere, if there is a God. And no one can make them self believe. You either can or you can't, and there's nothing you can do about it. So, if it's right, I go to hell. If it's not, I lived my live to it's fullest potential, and hopefully someone will remember me as a kind, loving person.

Answer 7

If Christianity is right, God has a lot of crimes to answer for, and I plan to get those answers before I flip him off and head to Hell because I will not serve such an immoral creature. My morals mean more to me than my comfort.

If it's wrong, well, there's a lot of ways it could be wrong -- is there no god, is judiasm right, is islam right, is buddhism right, is cherokee right, is navajo right, is shintoism right, is hinduism right, is .... you get my point, I'm sure.

Answer 8

Pascal's wager tells us to weigh the options.

If Christianity is right, and you believe in it, you go to heaven.

If Christianity is wrong, and you believe in it, well, you aren't losing anything.

Therefore, whether Christianity is right or wrong, the safe bet is to believe.

Answer 9

If its right then you are going to heaven, hell, or stuck in purgatory. If it's wrong then you just die, or end up in the outcome of death for another religion. for example, you may be reincarnated.

Answer 10

To choose to believe something you don't, just from the fear that it might be right is ignorant cowardice. You have to do what you know makes sense and not let fear rule your judgment. This is why we were given brains.
