    Does it make a difference, if it has any value or not?

    Now that is your opinion, and while I find it disagreeable, I guess you are entitled to it as well.



    Let's make that official, shall we? *clears throat*

    Blah, blah. (and yes, anyone can quote me on that one "officially" now )

    Point taken. Will try not to be so "loud" next time Speaking of which...now...

    *whispers* People believe in God because they are convinced there is a universal moral sense implanted within human beings by divinity.

    There was once a rich man who happened to visit a village. Now the indigent people in the village wanted to believe that such stranger was really rich.
    "Are you rich?" asked the villagers.
    "Just because I have a car at home, doesn't mean I'm rich," the rich man answered.
    One man was so eager that he challenged the stranger whether he really has a car. "If I go with you to your homeland, would you be so honest as to give me your car as a prize for believing you?"
    "Sure."
    "But I don't in believe you. We don't believe that a CAR exists or what a car is."
    And so, no one in the village dared to go with the rich man even just to claim the car promised by the rich man.

    The next day, the rich man visited the people in the village.
    "Here is the key of this car I'm going to give you."






    What if there really were heaven? What if there really were a God? Imagine you are dead now. And yet you are invited to enter heaven despite your unbelief of such things as heaven, God, meaning of life, etc. Would you be so arrogant as to say "I don't believe in heaven Mr. God, I never did. I won't enter this abode of yours."

    There are some logical flaws in that story that I won't tackle here...I'll just focus on the last paragraph of this post, to which I'll respond with a quote from Lance Armstrong (which I find fitting to how I'd react to this post):

    "...at the end of (my) day, if there was indeed some body or presence standing there to judge me, I hoped I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life, not on whether I believed in a certain book, or whether I'd been baptized. If there was indeed a god at the end of my days, I hoped he didn't say, 'But you were never a Christian, so you're going the other way from heaven.' If so, I was going to reply, 'You know what? You're right. Fine.'"

    the bible says "If youre against wrong deeds then youre for Him..." and after youve discovered He was indeed there, tears will flow from your eyes like river... murag salida bah...

    On the contrary, it is the rich man inviting the villager to enter heaven despite the villager's insistence that he doesn't believe that a thing such a car would exist. If you don't believe in God, then the more you would be invited to enter heaven. There was no condemnation in the story.

    Question is, would you enter heaven despite your claim that you don't believe in it? Imagine you are already on the Gate of Heaven, would you still say, "No, I won't enter heaven?"
