It is easy to tell someone that a trivial fact they hold true is in deed false.

It is a lot harder to convince someone that the bases of their life is incorrect or even different. Just look at all the different sects. _________________ Holy shit it's the Golgothan! |

Yet if you seek the Truth, you should question everything. Even what you hold as sacred. _________________ Join http://www.sefora.org/

I find it easier to seek the truth when you don't hold beliefs that are sacred or culturally bound. All of my probable truths are tentative and malleable. _________________ Atheism... Evolving beyond superstition

I would want to know the truth but on the other hand I think ignorance would be better rather than knowing for certain that there was a malevolent all powerful being waiting to send my soul to hell. _________________ "God doesn't have a limp" House |

Even if there was a God that was proven beyond debate (unlikely to happen), I would believe that it existed, but I certainly wouldn't 'love him'. That's what I don't understand about Christians, they are so intent on converting others to believe in God and Jesus they don't even realize that their 'lord and savior' is a serial killing, egotistical maniac. _________________ Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church. |
