Who destined me to this? Sounds like a protection racket to me. Are we talking about gods or mob-based fire insurance?

That's funny because I couldn't Not believe in God if I tried.

The statement is self explaining. What are you confused over?

So it isn't a choice, for either of you. I've gotta ask, why do you keep insisting that it is Drich?

Because I choose not to be seperated from God for an eternity, and others on this forum do choose to be seperated from God for eternity.

Oh that's good, as long as I'm the one in charge. For some strange reason I was under the impression that some voodoo god had placed a hex on my ancestors......
Wait, wait, did you choose to believe this or not? Very confusing stuff...

I don't. I mean that I was brought up around religion and always found it to be a load of garbage. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was looking at religions to answer some questions of mine. I have no questions to ask, because I really don't care enough. I'm going to assume that this is the only life I get, so I ain't wasting it investigating bullshit... I'll waste it how I want to waste it.

Simple belief is not the choice you are asked to make, for we are told :Even Demons believe and tremble, and yet they are not saved. You chose whether or not you want to be with God and creation for an eternity.

I might actually go into advertising...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I think it is a requirement for advertizers to know the product they are trying to sell.

I'm sure there are laws against "advertizers" selling something nonexistent too.
