(November 28, 2008 at 12:15 pm)Psalm 23 Wrote: I'm just stopping by to debate and discuss religion and I often wonder why people turn to atheism if God can't be proven or disproven. It makes me think why would people turn their back on a God if they are not 100% sure? Even the author of the book, "The God Delusion" admitted that he cannot prove Jesus wasn't God. So, it makes me wonder why would someone take such a dangerous risk with their eternal fate.That also raises the question as to which god you should follow?
Why, given all the thousands of gods that man has believed in, should *your* god be the right one? There are some common points in most religions but there are many discrepancies too and you will almost certainly be doing something to bar you from ever lasting life in one of them by following another (if you see what I mean).
It makes much more sense to not follow any god and behave as though this was your only life. If you do find yourself before a god after you die then surely a loving god would say "You didn't believe in me, but you were a decent person so you can come in anyway.".
