The Fear Card
#11
RE: The Fear Card
Quote:The capacity to do good deeds should be sufficient regardless of what one believes. Reward should be based on that, not belief.
This is why it's pointless to believe in a religion such as that.
If I'm not convinced that the religion I believe in is not the real one, and the God I believe in will not reward me for the worship of him, more than so the other that does not worship him(regardless of his good or evil deeds), why would I actually worship him? I'd rather go and worship a God that can appreciate my adoration.
Quote:In this case, the only thing God is concerned about is belief in him. If choosing not to have blind faith because you feel evidence is lacking is willingly disobeying him, God has some serious issues. The point is that God should be concerned about good behavior and not silly mind games.
Maybe it is, maybe it is not. And even if God has issues, why really go against a higher being that has issues? One must be a fool to do so.
The point is, God does not have to do anything. He certainly has no obligation to look after your wellbeing, as you're not even the size of a bacteria in comparison to him, as he is, the universe, the multiverse, or whatever. What do you hope to accomplish by telling God how he should behave himself?
Quote:So are you admitting it's faith through extortion?
In one way...But on the other hand, he promises you an eternal life of happiness in heaven. That counts as an incentive.
Quote:Because you say so?
The many faiths around the earth stand in testimony to this.
