Cop Out
December 13, 2010 at 4:07 pm (This post was last modified: December 13, 2010 at 4:11 pm by LWP17.)
A couple of weeks ago I was watching a show on TV (wish I could remember what it was) and a guy was giving a speech. In the speech he said that he feels a lot of religious people only believe in religion as a cop out so that if there is an afterlife and they chose correctly then they will be safe for eternity.

Said person said that he didn't believe and wouldn't claim something that he didn't truly feel just so he could have a shot at being safe "in the afterlife".

What do you guys think about this? Do you believe that a lot of people use religion as a cop out?
