I'm only reverting the question... Many christians asked me what i'd do if it turned out real. Anyway, admit it to whatever is out there.
2007-08-16 06:13:58 · update #1
Nope. I would just go along with whatever fairy tale those that came before me had made up!
Isn't that how this whole religious gawd jebus thing works?

I don't mean to come off rude, but your question is kind of silly.
If there is no heaven, no hell, nothing, then where will we have the opportunity to admit anything?
I am a firm believer in life after what we live here on earth.
I cannot wait for the day I can be with God!!
God Bless!

1. I would have been shown to be right.
2. Even if I had believed in heaven and hell before I died I would no longer exist to realise I was wrong, or have anyone else there to admit it to.

No, because (a) I would have been proven more right than wrong [I'm agnostic but think it more likely than not that there is no god in the nature of what humans conceive] and (b) I wouldn't be self-aware and therefore would be unable to admit or deny anything anyway.
More's the pity. I really like the idea of hell for folks like Osama, Adolph, Josef and Mao.

1. to whom? i'd be dead
2. if there was someone i had to admit it to, i would.
3. even if there was no heaven, no hell, no God, i wouldn't regret not one day of my Christian life. The feeling that came from that is too phenomenal.
I'd rather be praying to someone that listens to me, and understands me, and doesn't judge, even if they're not there then drink all the booze in the world.
I'd rather go to a church where people are friendly and are welcoming and a warm and serve someone that's not there than go to the club any night.
I'd rather read the Bible over and over than a porn magazine once.
There is so much good feeling that comes from being Christian that the angry atheist yelling at you and asking ridiculous questions won't bother you anymore.
Just my opinion.

Yes. I would admit it, however, I would be dead and wouldn't be able to come to that conclusion.
Isn't it smarter to submit to God while alive? Why take a chance? Choosing to honor God isn't a bad thing. His rules aren't that hard to follow. If it means the difference between heaven and hell (what if they do exist?) why would anyone deny the possibility of God and the afterlife? It seems asinine to me. Playing russian roulet with your eternal life is not smart.

Dear Metard,
Heaven exists, God exists, but right now hell does not exist as a place or location-God will create hell or the lake of fire on Judgement Day. Every person has to have a trial before God can condemn him/her to hell. Jesus Christ is the Judge and He is just.

Impossible to comprehend...for I have seen the Hand of God at work several times.
This would take more faith to believe that God does not exist now than it does for me to believe that He does.
How easy it is for one to sit back and type out remarks against something they know nothing about. Sort of like me convincing a Neuro Surgeon that brains do not exist.

"What ifs" are fanciful imaginings at best and destructive mental derailers at worst. They have no place nor importance compared to WHAT IS. I prefer to focus on and deal with what IS, not on LaLa Land imaginings.
Almighty God IS real and true.
The Holy Bible IS real and true.
Jesus Christ IS real and true.
Heaven IS real and true.
Hell/The Lake of Fire IS real and true.
Satan/Lucifer IS real and true.
Witnesses, prophets, and enemies alike throughout time have testified to the TRUTH and REALNESS of Almighty God and Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ & Almighty God & The Holy Bible SAY it is true. I believe them. That settles it for me.
I have NO doubts.
I do NOT "hope" I will spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus Christ...I KNOW I will, because Jesus Christ said it and promised it to me.

If I'm wrong (and I doubt that I am...) I will have lost nothing. I will have loved my creator (the living God) with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will have also loved my neighbor as myself. Again, I have lost nothing.
When you die and are standing before the living God...and He passes His judgment on you...will you be willing to admit you were wrong?
Something to think about...

Nope. You wouldn't exist to be able to admit it. Kind of a pointless question....
However, if it turns you there is a God, heaven, etc., then being wrong is a major issue.
(You have heard of Pascal's Wager, right?)
