Then you can "evolve" to a lighter
Maybe soon you can work up to a zippo
Then a windproof
Then a blowtorch
Then a flamethrower
So when you "go home" it will be a smooth transition.
Great idea, huh??

Love your brother as you love yourself. atheists, christians, muslims, buddhists, taoists, I think they are all included by Christ in his teachings don't you think? don't listen to anyone who says
otherwise, just stick to what Christ said in the gospel.

Thank you for showing again that the only people who reject evolution are those who don't understand it.
also:
Pascal's wager:
"If god exists, it's infinitely better to believe, since you get heaven instead of hell for eternity. If he doesn't, it doesn't matter since you're dead anyway. So overall it's better to believe"
This is, of course, false.
Some of the problems with the argument:
* The implied assumption that god may exist (with a 50% probability, no less!)
* The assumption that there is an afterlife with a heaven and hell
* The assumption that the god cares about belief in him/her above all else
* The assumption that if you believe in a god, it will definitely be the same god that actually exists.
* The assumption that you lose nothing if it's false. You have lost a great deal, from time praying to a nonexistent entity (some people pray several hours a day!!!) to morality (your god may ask you to hurt other people) and much more besides.
* The assumption that people can believe in something simply because it benefits them. Would you believe goblins exist for twenty bucks? Why not?
* The assumption that any god won't see through the "believing just to get into heaven" ploy.

No, we're doing more productive things then arguing for a creator using faulty watchmaker logic.
P.S. We don't really need matches. We use light bulbs, which were invented by Thomas Edison, an atheist.

It gets pretty damn close here in Canada, I wouldnt mind going to hell some months of the year. And I guess I'd rather be burned than to be sodomized in that @ss by pedophile priests. lol

HA HA HA!! Youre really funny, arent you? NOT.
Is this supposed to enflame us? I am well aware of the fact that Hell is a fabrication, designed to scare sheeple into line. Being that it doesnt exist, I cant find myself upset at your attempted use of humor to insults us...
Surely, you could do better? Ive seen many of you stoop to personal insults - those are much more effective...

No, but when I got a bag of Chilean grapes the other day, they reeked of brimstone, and I ate them anyway.
Still can't get the smell out of my clothes and hair tho. Who knew?

Actually what I do is have as much sex and good food as possible to get used to my future home. Remember, hell is heaven for sinners. They don't 'have' to go to hell, they 'get' to go to hell. I'm sorry, did you think hell was torment??
LOL!
