To what extent do you choose your (religious) beliefs?

[NICE MOBIUS]

Well, it means that I certainly don't believe in made up beings in the sky that don't exist. Unlike you.

It also means that you don't believe in God, unlike me.

Duh, really!?

Did a lightbulb go off in your head when you figured that out all on your own!!?

[kentonio]

Actually it tells me that I don't need to be great and that you aren't qualified to judge me.

Let's look at what you're saying....

1) You're too good to be judged by God.
2) People who do seek God's judgement are doing so out of fear and not humility.

Actually it was quite clearly a comment on the inherent flaws in Pascal's Wager, but if you want to claim the same role for yourself, then you are of course perfectly welcome.

I was trying to show you how much your statement meant. "I don't believe in beings that don't exist." "You don't believe in beings that exist."

Oh nvm.

So, stating the ****ing obvious then!?

Why would your belief that you are too good to be judged by God be an inherent flaw of Pascal's philosophy?

For which of Kentonio's sins do you believe that he deserves eternal damnation? (Look, no dangling prepositions!!!!!)

[kentonio]

Kentonio: "I believe A"
Kid "Why do you believe B!?!?"
Kentonio: "I never said I believe B"
Kid: "So you believe C?!? What the **** is wrong with you liar!!!"

All of them.

Kentonio: "I believe A"

Kid: "So you believe C?!? What the **** is wrong with you liar!!!"

Ok. let's try this again. Pascal was reacting to Spinoza who said "God is nature." Pascal is bringing it back to a Judeo-Christian perspective (or trying to). I don't believe in his method of believing, but why would you think that God would be more favorable to people who think that they are too good to be judged by Him.

[loinburger]

All of them.

Then you're worshipping a very ****ty god.

[Kidlicious]

Then you're worshipping a very ****ty god.

I didn't say that kentonio has to pay for his sins. He can't. Jesus paid for his sins. Do you want to rethink what you just said?

[loinburger]

Then you're worshipping a very ****ty god.

So just to clear this up, you think paying other people's debt is bad?
