God, Energy and Matter
RE: God, Energy and Matter

Muslims believe that there is a special place in Jahannam (Islam hell) for Christians, and only being a follower of Allah will get you to the Islam heaven. Hindus believe in 3 main gods, and when you die you go to Naraka to have your sins burned away, then are reincarnated, etc, etc.

Hindus believe that all gods are manifestations of the one God Brahman and are subject to Brahman. You're right that they all have different beliefs about God, but they believe in him and are moving toward union with him, even if they're so wrong in so many ways. They don't have to be right about everything. Nobody has a total understanding of God.

What about the many known atheists who are still atheists on their deathbed? And millions unknown?

According to theists, only your body dies and you live on, either back here or someplace else. I believe we all come from God and we all go back, even if it takes a a million years. We do reap what we sow. God is everything. He doesn't lose any of it.

Quote:I think this is a load of BS.

Obviously you do. I feel the same about atheism.

According to Lek, only your body dies and you live on, either back here or someplace else. I believe we all come from FSM and we all go back, It only takes about 5-6 business days for soul shipping...We do reap what we sow. FSM is everything. FSM doesn't lose any of it.

I'll have to look into FSM. He has many similarities to my God.

The only difference being, obviously, FSM is real

FSM is a wimp. I saw him on the kids menu last time I went to Olive Garden.

What you saw was only one of his many divine manifestations. Feel blessed.

The difference between FSM and your god is that pasta actually exists in the real world. Your god? Not so much.

Yes, and the FSM came to Olive Garden and sacrificed himself so you might become fed and diabetic.  How can you not believe in him?

I really want to believe, but it still hasn't been proven that he he was on the menu. Others have claimed to have visions of pink spaghetti on their menu. Maybe I just wanted FSM to be there and I imagined it.

Really, there is a spaghetti monster, but he's not God. God is real and FSM is made up. When someone gives up their life for FSM I'll pay more attention.

At work.

That's a whole lot of trouble in a post right there Lek.

So.... the generations of Norse, Scandinavians, Norwegians etc who passed onto Valhalla sword in hand is good enough for you to believe in the All Father?

The Buddhist Monks who peacefully self immolated in protest against thd atrocities of Vietnam are good enough for you to belive in the teatchings of the Buddha?

I'm sure other folks will be along to give lots of other examples of people dying for their beliefs.

Are you going to believe in them all? Or cherry pick the one that feels most right to you?

Cheers.
