So how *much* of this "faith" of yours does one need to be able to have eternal life ?
A lot, a little, a smidgen ?

That's it. I always say "God has a plan for you, ... stop screwing it up with your prayers".
False. You are just trying any way you can to make it sound as bad as possible because you don't want to be held accountable for you actions and you don't want to believe that we are here to learn and to become better people (and it very obvious better people would be trying to cure and care for everyone in need)

I think all religions are man-made but with a very good purpose in mind. Were some of them at least partly inspired by actual prophets of God? I don't know and neither do you.
Honestly I don't really think they are just comforting stories. I'm glad we agree about religion being manmade and I too think that religion came about for reasons which are worth understanding. And no, I don't think religion came about merely as a mistake caused by our ancient stupidity or as a con job on the part of a dastardly priestly caste. I'd prefer to be less glib about the status of god belief and religious experience.
But by all means, lets start by both owning our agnosticism regarding the status of God. Neither of us knows but I can respect your right to decide for yourself so long as you can also grant the reasonableness of my making my own decision.
Now what?
