I would rather believe and be wrong, than to not believe and be wrong!
Even if there is a god, the god that you worshipped, it statistically wouldn't the deity that actually exists. It would just as likely Ra, Oden/Woden or Thor, and you'll burn for eternity for not worshipping them. Also, what if disbelievers are rewarded and believers are punished, then atheists will go heaven and everyone else will go to hell. Also, this assumes that a deity is worth giving your time and energy to, although any deity that would send someone to be tortured for all eternity for something as menial as unbelief is a tyrannical megalomaniac and not worth devoting your life to.
What if you ended up dying and then found whatever you belief is quite wrong. What would you do or think? This question is for people with any belief, Atheist, Christianity, or any others.
For example for Atheist, what would do if you died and found the Christian belief were true. The God you didn't think exist is very real and you now your in a lot of trouble. The Atheist probably racked up quite bit sins making fun of Christians and God.
Or what if a Christian died and found turns Buddhist belief is as truth. You going to get reincarnated and probably as dog or maybe but since you weren't a very good Buddhist. The Christian should have been focusing on achieving Nirvana instead of worshiping God.
Would you immediately admit your were wrong and starting believing in the truth that was before you? Or would still deny it and cling to whatever your beliefs were?
If I find out god does exist when I die, then I'll give him the finger before he sends me down to hell.
So what if I'm wrong? Everybody has the odds stacked against them as agnostic soldier just pointed out. There are more than 4,200 religions in the world and I only have one more chance of being wrong than anyone else. That means that most of us are wrong.
the fact that i was devout and believed wont save me as i get judged not on what i believe but what i do. i got my asbestos suit in layaway already.
