as an athiest have i got both sides covered?

Question

i believe when i die im worm food ,but if god did exist and we are all "gods children" then he as gotta let me in upstairs,but if you believe in god all your life and he does not exist.... what a waste you might as well have been an athiest!

so caring ,loving,being respectful and so on are only christian traits? I am all of these but without having to say its because of religion but because im human.and no the devil is not at my ear, as normal when it comes to debate about religion it must be "the devils work" when someone deems to disagree or raise questions on religion.

why am i having a cheap shot at religion?i deem to question ? thats arrogance not debate if religion is so scared of little ol me raising a question then its in more trouble than i thought.I WASN'Tsaying faith was a waste of time but if believing in god does'nt have an end product i.e heaven and so on then WHY .I can do all the good things the bible professes without religion.

Answer 1

How will it matter if you wasted your life or not? You will be gone out of existence if there is God and you won't know if you wasted your life. As for the statement about having both sides covered, maybe you're right, maybe you're not, but religion has given me so much in my life, and I don't think going to church for 1 hour a week and praying for 15 minutes every night is wasting your life.

Answer 2

I learn 0.5 of it and gave up. some issues that stand out: coming up an atom of iron would not require the flexibility of four galaxies. The universe did no longer start up as "smoke". it is been popular that the solar isn't table certain for a number of centuries. i do no longer understand precisely while it became into discovered that it rotates, yet i realize it became into in or till now the nineteenth Century - no longer "2 an prolonged time in the past". it is been popular that the moon pondered the mild of the solar a minimum of because of the fact the classic Greeks. Heck, they even knew the Earth became into around, and between the justifications they gave became into that the shadow of the Earth on the Moon in the time of an eclipse became into around. in the event that they knew it became into the Earth's shadow inflicting the eclipse, what do you think of they concept became into the mild source? If this could be a pattern of the "technological know-how" in those video clips, i believe i will bypass. Edit: I see. If technological know-how contradicts the Koran, then technological know-how is misguided. would not that enormously plenty shoot down your finished question?

Answer 3

we are all worm food when we die it does not matter what religion you are. worms are not selective about their food. that is from a physical perspective. the question is, do you feel you have a spiritual consciousness? if so then what comes next? i don't have the answer and i don't believe anyone has, it is all speculation. what is important is the here and now because it is now that you are alive...

Answer 4

I see what you're saying, but I think you've got it backwards. The bible says you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior; THEN you will get into heaven. If you do not, He will say, "Depart from me, I never knew you."

If I'm wrong, maybe I "wasted" time... but I'm happy believing what I believe; it's a very satisfying life. If you're wrong......... not my job to condemn anyone... just telling you what the Good Book says.


Edit: I just answered the question with my opinion, people... besides, you said that if we're all God's children, he has "gotta" let you in. I'm just telling you that's not what the Bible says. Are you giving me a thumbs down because you disagree with my beliefs or because I answered your question without backing yours up?

Answer 5

It's almost humorous reading a series of 'if this, if that' on the only thing all people HAVE to think about. Why be guilty of negligence? We're born destined to hell save for Jesus' sacrifice to take the place of ours.
He'd not come to condemn, but to complete.
Yaweh knew we're damaged from long before we were a twinkle in mom's eye, so He made a way for us to be with Him, even @ His own expense and humiliation.
Demanding that it be proven to you is arrogant, but American.
Litigiousness and faith have nothing to do with each other...

Answer 6

12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Answer 7

why is being a christian a waste. I live a full happy life. Is caring about others, being helpful, respectful, a great leader, a decent man, full of hope and a million other traits so bad for me. Am i wasting my life because instead of being a self center pain like you I give a little, help people get through their pain, make someone else life a little better. Your the one who wasted his life.

Answer 8

Think a little harder then you are. According to religion the atheists do not stand in judgement nor are they saved so without a way out of hell you come back to Hell. Is that what you want LISTEN TO ME FOR ONE MOMENT, I believe God created ATHEISTS. The world needs them their is much we would not accomplish if it weren't for the non religious, just know that if you live your whole life as atheist I believe as long as you do not harm other humans you still have the option on your death bed to call on the name Jesus Christ repent and enter Paradise I don't care if you do it at the very last minute, just do it.

Answer 9

well, i know you're taking cheap shots at christianity. too bad you got something wrong. the Bible does not say we are all "God's children" so, no, he does not have to let u in "upstairs." I'm sure you can have the basement though.

Answer 10

We are not all God's children.

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God" John 1:12

So you see that to be a child of God is condition upon 1) believing in him 2) receiving him. And a consequence of being born of God is that you must be sanctified from sin and sin no more.

"No one who is born of God will continue to sin" 1st John 3:9

So if you are an atheist you have not received God's grace in your life, you are neither born of God nor justified before God.
