well Mike,what a charming invitation! Either accept your faith as beyond doubt or suffer the " consequences "!!
You sound like a christian zealot. By that I mean a number 1 on the Dawkins spectrum of probability on the existence of god. This means you subscribe to a 100% belief in he/she/ its existence. This I suggest is insupportable.
I, on the other hand, subscribe to point 6 on the spectrum, which states a very low probability, albeit less than zero.
There is a 7, which is inhabited by atheist zealots who know 100% that god doesn't exist i.e. just as unsuportable as your position.
I go no further, your god almost certainly doesn't exist, so no consequences follow on.
how can you say for certain that there are no consequences that follow yet earlier in your post you say that you still believe there is a somewhat small probability that god exists?
I don't deal in certainties, only probabilities. The overwhelming probability is that no god exists, therefore I act accordingly. Even if your god exists then what a sorry creature, unworthy of anything but scorn and contempt, not worship. You choose to believe, that is your right, but please don't be as arrogant as you fundamentalists are. You are probably wrong.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
