If the designer is God and Pascal's wager proved itself as true. Then this life is only a test. So in that way, you would have to find out after you die, presuming you ain't gonna be just pushing up daisies.
Personally, I believe there is life after death.

Yes, it is an innate disposition that I am convinced there is a Creator beyond the space/time continuum who created the universe and everything in it. I also believe that empiricism is only 1/3rd of science. And scientists who rely solely on empiricism are only seeing with one eye... they have...
This has to be one of the most educational, funny and interesting series on the differences between Islam and Christianity available on youtube. Filmed in 16 short bite size segments and exclusively produced for youtube audiences.
The series starts off with a good bye message to Christian Hate...
Yes, necro bumping due to the interesting discourse within. The video I linked herein, is one which I have taken personal benefit from in terms of understanding the polemic between theistic and atheistic POV surrounding evolution. I felt the video had to be shared, gnostic. Hopefully it can...
Vikings have been around for a long time but the Hávamál is only as old as the 13th century? Vikings have been around since, well... mid 8th century CE??? 500 years to play with nursery rhymes hardly cuts the mustard me lad!!

The New Testament is not what I call an historical work, nor the word of God but rather, a book of men - which is...
Peace be with you, Shiranui117
I have grown to love the Qur'an in its' entirety, so it's an hard ask for me to choose a particular Surah after reading the exegetical data and knowing the historicity and anthropology of its revelation.
But since I'm being asked to share something, I will share...
Ah I see!
There was no church at the time of Jesus the Messiah. peace be upon him. You got your history confuddled here!
Sounds very much like a polytheists answer, not a monotheist one! You sure you worship God and not dead people?
You do realize the epistles of Paul 1 & 2 which made it...
Ah yes, I forgot, Catholics actually pray to the dead, honouring them as Saints. You require "mediators" between yourself and God Almighty. You've made God out to be beyond the reach of mankinds beseeching.
Muslims worship and pray to God directly, no intercessor/mediation required.We have a...
