do religious people really believe?

[paulpablo]

And what is the point if your theoretical faith?

I assume you mean "of" my theoretical faith?
Theres no point in my faith, its either there or it isnt i dont believe in things for a purpose, i can change my way of thinking to increase potential and have more faith in myself for a purpose i suppose, for example at the gym or in a job interview i like to think possitive. But this definitely does not extend to believing beings or places exist or not for a purpose, if someone dies who i know i cant just force myself to think "right well ill just believe heaven exists now that should help me out"
And i still stand by the idea that having faith for the pure purpose to defeat the doubts seems illogical to me.
But if you say you wont give away most your money and you care about the deaths of children because you have children and i assume you have a wife aswell and you dont know if there is definitely a heaven then thats a fair enough answer.
My point really still stands though about the religious people who do cry over the deaths of children and who live life pretty much in luxury and who do all the other many things i just simply wouldnt do if i believed in heaven.
I can tell you now if i believed in heaven id give my money away and id probably have no hands or eyes right now since i think it was jesus who said if you think your hand is going to cause actions to prevent you entering heaven you should chop it off, and my hands and eyes definitely cause me to do lustful things that would prevent me getting into heaven. I would just chop my balls off but then id be spilling mans seed onto the earth.
