Do people think about God?

[EnochSDP]

The facts are if a Bible and God believer is wrong then we die and there is nothing to worry or be concerned about.
But is they are right then alot of people will perish.Do they ever think about that?
Are you ever concerned that maybe it is true regardless what people have taught?
Do people think about that not believing offers more problems if your theory is wrong than your latter?
Does anyone reconize that since the great fall of Gods influence in America by taking him out of everything and pushing theories upon people has resulted in the wave of immoral and unvirtues people than before?

Buddhists don´t believe in either God or bible and they do believe in an afterlife. Their beliefs tend to regard blind faith as very damaging towards one enlightment

But is they are right then alot of people will perish.Do they ever think about that?

Sure! It´s the way I know the bible can only be taken with two pillars of salt! (or in some cases, some Lot´s wife )

Do people think about that not believing offers more problems if your theory is wrong than your latter?

Let´s say someone calls to your phone and tell you he is God. He tells you that if you don´t run naked around your house 3 times screaming "Halla palooza!" he´ll strike you down with a lightning and you´ll go immidiately to hell.

Now, if he is wrong, you just risk some earthly problems. If he is right though... pray not to get that call

BTW what does this have to do with evolution? o.0

This is based on interpretation of the bible some believe all are saved after death.

But is they are right then alot of people will perish.Do they ever think about that?

Yes, it is called pascals wager, it is explained here Pascal's Wager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Are you ever concerned that maybe it is true regardless what people have taught?
Do people think about that not believing offers more problems if your theory is wrong than your latter?

This falls under pascals wager again. I would also like to add that imo disregarding logic is a problem. If god is out there I would surely hope when I die he does not punish me for using logic that was given to me by him.

Does anyone reconize that since the great fall of Gods influence in America by taking him out of everything and pushing theories upon people has resulted in the wave of immoral and unvirtues people than before?

When was "the fall of God". There have always been bad people doing bad things and good people doing good things. It takes religion to cause a good person to do a bad thing.

Does anyone else recognise that this thread has nothing to do with evolution vs. creationism?

To him it does I am sure. Evolution vs creationism to him is the same as Christians vs none believers.

The overwelming majority of religious people (Christian included) accept the Theory of Evolution. They worship their respective gods (whether the God of the Bible, the God of the Quoran, etc.) and they know enough about science to also accept the fact that the Universe is more than 14 billion yeras old, the earth more than 4 billion years old and that species develop by means of natural selection (the Theory of Evolution). What's you problem with it all?

YOU are the one with the Bible God 'theory'.
Without your book and your religion
there would be NO 'BIBLE GOD' to theorize, about.

The rest of us just happen to live in a world
where a curiious number of people live their lives
(supposedly) based around (their own) theories
of the contents of a 'bible god' book.

In this case anyway, WE are the neutral ones.

YOU are the one invested in (personal) theories about the contents
of your .... preferred book.

Different people 'prefer' different books.
This doesn't have so much to do with any theory
so much as it does that different... material
appeals to different people.
My only theory about this,
is that people are different,
and thus find themSelves personally engaged
by different things. :cover:

Though not necessarily in that order.

I suspect EnochSDP has decided this is the place where his posturing will provoke the greatest response - a poe's sole ambition, when all is said and done.

You're going to die, regardless.

Really? So why are the most religious states the most socially dysfunctional?

Your claims of moral superiority for believers are contrary to observed facts.

 

[HerDotness]

Really? So why are the most religious states the most socially dysfunctional?

Your claims of moral superiority for believers are contrary to observed facts.

Middle Eastern predominantly Islamic countries, for instance, where women are forced to wear the burkha which can cover them completely but for hands, feet and eyes. Saudi Arabia and probably other nearby Islamic countries where women aren't allowed to drive. Oh, and did I mention the delightful custom of killing women who've been raped because they've violated the family's honor, known as honor killings?

Then, there's the U.S. which has the highest homicide rate among Western countries and also by far the highest percentage of people professing belief in God. Has the highest rate of teen pregnancies, too.

Yep, religious believers certainly do hold to a higher moral standard.

I find it amusing!You can not deny that our moral depravity is at a all time high!

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Because obviously no other religion says the world was created by gods...someone must have failed their mythology lessons.

because we're not stoning homosexuals?

 

[The Sum of Awe]

It has been thought about before, it's called Pascal's Wager.

What if the true God preferred atheists to go to heaven, instead of people who were dependent on faith and just believed whatever a book told them to?

Ah, Pascal's wager....

What is interesting is that you have not presented a single thing to show a connection between your alleged fall of god's influence and your alleged increase in immoral and unvirtuous people.

Now before you make some lame lazy reply about "common sense"...

First you have show when this increase started.
Then you need to show that BEFORE the increase, people actually were more moral and virtuous.
Then you need to show that AFTER the increase people were in fact less moral and less virtuous.


It might help if you come up with a way to accurately and consistently measure morality and virtues...

 

[McBell]

It is!!!!it is the exzact same!

Only in YOUR mind.

I strongly suspect that you are poised ready to toss out fallacy after fallacy...

For instance, I suspect that you will use the No true Scotsman Fallacy when it is pointed out that there are Christians who accept evolution.
