Sorry for been a jurk I am just having bad days, I don't know if I believe in god or not, i don't know if I like Chritian faith or not, I know I don't want nothing after death but I don't want my nifus and my sister to go to hell, it is like that red hot chile peper son, every time I lose.

I can, with the most extreme and absolute confidence, positively state that your nifus will not go to Hell. Perhaps even more comfortingly, I can equally confidently state that your sister and nephews will not go to Hell either. No one you know will go to Hell. Not even you.

So stop worrying about it.

How can you state that with such confidence?

I think it means "nephews".

Aha! Magus55 smells blood and is circling in for the kill.

I believe that the chances of Yahzi being wrong are so small as to be irrelevent.

No need to worry Jeffrey.

Thanks lunachick!

Jeffrey Formosa,

Your posts read as if you are discontent with Christianity, but at the same time find atheism unsatisfying as well. I share this attitude.

The most constructive response is not to lash out at Christians and atheists. Really, what you should do is look at the events of the world, and decide what kind of view of God(s) they suggest. I think they suggest a world with many gods, who have various outlooks on how the world should be, and compete with each other for influence. It's rewarding to think outside the twin boxes of Christianity and naturalistic atheism.

Just look at the events of the world, and try not to focus excessively on any one part of it. Except your own life. You know your own life most intimately, and therefore it's the place to start when trying to determine what things in general are like.

(Edited to correct name.)

I did. Why do you think I'm an atheist?

It's rewarding to think outside the tiny nested boxes of theism and magical thinking. Look look look! I can make snide posts with no intellectual content that insult vast numbers of people too!

If you want to impress anyone, try giving reasons for what you believe instead of 'I'm right, everyone else is wrong, by definition.'.
