ok so let me explain more.....im not talking about one god. your god is your choice. i'm asking why go against all religion? Some have no faith, in anyone or thing? why not belive in something? And don't refer me to someone else's words. It just a question.

I'm honest. And no, I'm not worried. Honesty is the best policy, I reckon.

If I am wrong, and God is indeed a petty tyrant who tortures those who don't blindly believe in him, then i will be glad to rebel against him.
If he is a god of love, then there is no need to worry. Be good to others and try to right as many wrongs as you can as humbly as you can.
Besides, we are talking about the god who turned water into wine!!! I am sure he will be alright with a few nights of cussin' and sinning. I am sure that this god of love (if he exists) has no issues with communists, homosexuals or pagans... and I am sure he would rather send intolerant fascists to hell than abortion doctors and junkies.
Wherever I end up after I die (if i don;t just rot as expected), I hope it is the opposite of where Falwell and the religious terrorists of the US are going.
And I'll drink to that.

*drink* Google Pascal's Wager.
Aren't you afraid you're wrong about Ganesha?
Edit: Ok, I have a religion. Just not a theistic one. I'm a neo-Pagan. But my gods are strictly archetypal. That is, they are symbolic of aspects of nature/humanity. I don't consider them to be an external, supernatural force. Technically, I don't believe in anything supernatrual. I just believe there are things we can't yet understand or explain. And I'm rational, so I demand proof of things I cannot experience. No proof has ever been given for a deity.

It's pretty early to be drinking already. I'm saving this one for tonight.
Google "Pascal's Wager", hon. And then recognize that you've just given yet another in the countless stream of pieces of evidence that believers know less about religion than do nonbelievers.

I'm unaffected by Pascal's Wager. Any God who would make it that convenient to be right 'just in case' isn't the real God. How much sense does that make? "Guys, I'm going to make it real easy. You don't have to believe, just pretend you do, and you're in heaven."
Nonsense, that tool was invented by Humans in order to forcibly mind-control others into submission to their ideas, and there is no way I am submitting myself to such weakness of character.

What if you are wrong about Zeus?

Because your "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand and your religion is a disease of the mind, born of fear, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race.

no.
first of all - which god? there are so many to choose from, if one starts worrying about what Odin will think, that scares you away from Osiris or Zeus.
second of all - if any of the gods is that jealous and narrow-minded, it's out of my hands anyway.

Why pick the Christian god over the Hindu choices? Don't you worry about being wrong?

Don't you worry about not learning about the already debunked Pascal's Wager?
