Re: Jesus was unnecessary
[ QUOTE ]
And P.S., Jesus dying because he didn't clean his room is no less silly than the myriad of other events in the Bible. [/ QUOTE ] I didn't say it is or isn't silly (although, I am sure you know where I stand there). But, I am saying that your are. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[ QUOTE ] you miss the possibility that you're wrong and there is a god. chez [/ QUOTE ] I'm not certain what you mean. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I take it you're new to the SciMathPhil forum. Search on Pascals wager to see why its not +ev. Briefly, you assume that if god exists then your right about his nature. You may be putting your faith in a god who would rather you relied on reason. chez

I didn't say my thoughts were an exact paralell. Whether it's +or-EV doesn't matter. My faith is that the God I believe in wants me to use my brain and all the reasoning power I have. I did. I continually try to. My reasoning is that I don't have the answers to all the questions. No one else does, either. In their minds they do. So be it. I can accept that. I've had more than just a few doubts and I've screamed at and cursed at my God. I'm not a perfect human being. But I have been and am being, perfectly human. I have faith that's the way He knows I will be. I've had far too many experiences in my life that cause me to believe in God.

Re: Jesus was unnecessary
ok, I understood from you post that you didn't see the possibility of god existing and seeing you as worthy of hell because you believed in the wrong one.
