Answer 3

Nope.

I have always been an atheist. OK, that is not completely true. I am not an atheist. I am not a believer. I am not an agnostic. I am none of these because the answer to god's existence is unimportant.

People ask what would convince me that there is a god. I'm not sure, but certainly open to any tangible evidence. I don't know what evidence would convince me because I believe (I don't know) it is impossible to prove the existence of god. I might believe perhaps if Jesus returned, turned some stones into bread and wine to feed thousands. What evidence would convince you that god does not exist? See? It's hard to answer that question!

Please don't quote me bible passages as evidence of god's existence. Remember, this is my standard of proof, not yours. However, if proof were provided that convinced me god exists, I would change absolutely nothing in my life or my behavior.

I ask you the counter question: If evidence were provided that convinced you god does not exist (evidence according to your standards of proof), what would you change in your life?

Would you stop evangelizing?

Would you start sinning more?

Would you stop helping those less fortunate than you?

Would you feel that life is meaningless?

People can commit good deeds and attempt to avoid causing harm to others without belief in god. I never claim that god is on the side of America when discussing politics. God does not take sides, does he?

SO...why do you believe in god? I like to live a purposeful life and certainly would not do something if there was no purpose or pleasure. So if god does not exist, what would be the point in believing? Turn that around and so assuming god exists, what's the point? How do you use that knowledge in your life? Do you use that knowledge to affect positive change in the world? Is it not possible to follow the Golden Rule, do good deeds, and affect positive change in the world without believing in god? Please don't quote John 3:16 that ONLY believers enter heaven as that sounds like belief is motivated in some selfish personal reward.

I have no vested interest in god's existence. I do not see existence of heaven or hell as a reward or punishment. If you believe in god because you want to enter the pearly gates or wish to avoid the fires of hell, that seems rather selfish. Isn't the whole purpose of religious belief so you can become a better person?

For all those thumbs down, I ask you to think about your personal motivation for believing in god.

Good works come without faith too. And those good works can be quite fruitful. But claiming that good works won't get me into heaven sounds like some of you believe that I have some motivation for performing these good works -- the hope of being rewarded with admission to heaven. Nothing could be further from the truth.That seems to be the faulty premise many Christians make about non-believers.

I don't do good works to get into heaven. I perform good works because it is the right thing to do. I have no expectation and have no desire of any reward for my good works. Why is this concept so difficult for many Christians to comprehend?

Answer 4

I'm not sure what a cricket cage is, or why you would want to keep a cricket in a cage, but no one will ever find out there is a god because there isn't, at least not the one you think.

Have a nice day

Answer 5

No, because sweetie look at what you are believing.

Okay,
Christianity: The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever is you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically except him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to take an apple from a magical tree.
And then when you die you are going to a far away place in the sky that no one has ever seen.

Makes perfect sense.

Answer 6

Once I'm dead and cremated I may fit in a cricket cage, depending on the size of it.

Answer 7

If I find out there is a Middle-Eastern Bronze-Age minded despot-deity really waiting at the end of my life saying "ha-ha fooled you".... I'll chummy-punch him SO hard and then obviously suffer whatever cruel sh*t the a55monkey decides to do to me.

Answer 8

yes when you finally hand over all that evidence you have been hiding, lets reverse that question, when the fact god does not exist with the evidence handed on a plate will you still go on believing without question and using faith as excuse, i think you will, we haven't got anything to lose you have, so i wont feel small, i will have some big questions to ask him, because i wouldn't respect someone who made us and this planet and then buggered off and then thinks he can judge his mistakes...think about that.

Answer 9

The question presupposes the existence of God. Once the existence of God is established conclusively, then the question will make sense.

Answer 10

When that time comes, they will stand before God, as we all will. Why are you bashing Atheists like that? ...or are you just a troll in sheep's clothing?

Answer 11

For catholics it's not a cricket cage, it's a confessional booth, and most children run screaming from it.......
