It's completely ridiculous, just give each other respect and tolerance, it's what Jesus taught

That's what I can't accept, if there is no god etc. when you die, you simply cease to exist.
What does that mean?
I find that really scary, as you can't imagine what that would feel like, cause can you imagine not thinking?
It would be like falling asleep (and not dreaming either) except you never wake up.

Lol, well just look at Jesus, I mean think about it. God is a single dad living up in heaven with his son Jesus, and he says, "Son, I'm gonna send you to Earth on a suicide mission, but it's not going to hurt, because you're me.Well, actually, it might hurt for 3 days, but then you'll come back, and it's a bit complicated, but it'll work itself out.Trust me, we-I mean I, can do this, I'll find a nice Palestinian virgin to impregnate, we'll send Uncle Gabriel to tell her what's going to happen, it'll be great!" Meanwhile, Jesus is staring up at dad like he's a maniac.

Do you know anything about Hinduism?
Some of their beliefs are really far-fetched.
But I think with Jesus, he was the sacrificial lamb and by his death, people would be free from sin.
At least that's how I've heard it works.

Exactly. It is scary... I mean, who's to say that there isn't something past heaven? I really hope so. Life has to have a greater purpose than to live for 80 years or so and just end.
Just my opinion, and it's too late to get past this for me lol

Again I could be wrong, actually, I HOPE I'm wrongOriginally posted by vanquish:[..]
Yeah, life would be pathetically futile if you ceased to exist after a few decades.
Why would anyone bother being good? If a murderer is going to end up in the same place as some good person.

There is a similar religion (if it still exists) where there is no Hell. Just a Heaven. I can't remember it, I think it might be named after a person though. My goodness I'm tired

Is determinism, which basically means that no one has any control over their actions, and it is all predetermined.
