Atheist's gamble that there is no God, which is the greater Gamble?

Pascal's Wager isn't a great argument. What if Islam is correct, and worshiping Jesus as divine just makes God really angry?

ROFL

sorry, but once again you're living in a world of your own. Nothing like that is happening. If anything, religion is fading, and Christianity is nothing special. It's just one fairy tale among thousands, and not a very interesting one either.

I do think talking with you is time wasted though. You seem pretty irrational when it comes to politics already, but being a fundamentalist Christian on top of that pretty much means you've locked yourself in a room inside your own mind, and thrown away the key. I doubt you'll ever find your way out of it, and nobody can help you do it.

Perhaps not. I'm simply not the spiritual type to have faith in God or something alike. Sure, I believe that there is something like God, but I don't feel any obligation to worship it.

There is hope for the world!! That is the essence of the Gospel.

Christianity, globally, is falling behind Islam. There are also a lot of "nones" especially in the west. In the next 100 years demographics isn't going to be kind to Christianity.

Oh, and ministers also deconvert so that's a thing. You might habve heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clergy_Project

Mate, just quoting Bible verses doesn't achieve anything. So what. Why should we take what it says seriously?

And your last sentence is just nonsense. What is your native language, it is not English I'm certain!

A much more logical position, but still strange. What makes you think there's something like a god, if I may ask? You seem like a well educated modern person. What in the scientific world view leaves a gap that makes you think "and that's why there has to be a god".

I honestly don't know. Maybe I just don't get all to well around the possibility that we're just an insignificant coincidence which appears in one moment and disappears again in the next. Or I don't want to believe that my existence vanishes after death.

That said, I think that there is one. I don't know it for sure though. It's a possibility.

We need to understand that religion is just another way of control, however it CAN be a good way to control unless it's misused by fanatics. Christianity got their fair share of that during the last 200 decades.

I respect all religions who walk the path of peace, if they want to create trouble, I carry a big stick

We are infinite energy, the earth is just a place where you learn "stuff" how do I know? well I don't I just realized it during my world travels, and now i believe it is so.

A part of probably infinite energy.
And probably infinite universes.

(and yea, shamanistic and reincarnational beliefs probably have more merit than our "finite" ideas of "our" lives)

Jesus Christ was a Middle-Eastern dissident of Western imperial occupation of Palestine. Had he been alive today he'd have been called a terrorist.

The fact he appears to mean so much to white anti-Arabic westerners is a matter of extreme cognitive dissonance.

And he is also Socialist, conservative, democrat, liberal, racist, aramic, black, white, homo and bisexual, oriental, indian, buddhist, taoist, and so as everything else...

Please! Just don't!

This has all gone a bit OT.

Right, what has Trump done in the last 48 hours that's horribly cringe-worthy?

The question is not what he done, but what we know about it?

I'm waiting to hear news from his world tour at this point. He seems to be sucking up to the Sunni's and demonising the Shia. Traditional republican playbook there.
