A "believer" who's "wasted time" only amounting to 20 minuets per day is, in my opinion, not a true believer. When I was a Christian I certainly spent more than 20 minuets per day on what I believed.Peace be upon you everybody!
I have seen a lot of atheists here on the forums, but honestly I expected to see believer not atheists; as this site is called "religious forums", but anyway I've had a really interesting question for those who don't believe in after life and think that Its all fake, and as my communist friend once said (Karl Marx) "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people".
- Let's all assume that this is correct.
that after life is all fake and atheists were correct after all.. nature created the universe, planets, sun, human beings, animals, birds, Everything..but then would it really matter for believers?
20 minutes is the average time that a believer "wastes" everyday to pray, and worship his/her God, a very humble number that never compares to the hours that we all admit to waste on social media and random stuff, if believers are wrong.. Are they sincerely going to be regretful for those "wasted" minutes everyday?
I don't think so.
- Now, Lets assume the opposite.. that after life was true and that there is a single God who created this whole universe, what are atheists going to say then? What are atheists going to say when Heaven and Hell are revealed? and that only those who believed in God will go to heaven and others will not.
To any atheist reading this, I know that pride and dignity are your divine principles, but they won't do anything for you if believers were correct, they won't have any value if you find out that afterlife was true, consider both situations to happen, personally as a believer myself I would never feel ashamed if my beliefs were incorrect, I would never feel ashamed because I would just die and that's it. No afterlife!
For you atheists If believers were to be correct about Heaven, Hell, Afterlife, God, What would you do/say then?
I spent a good portion of myself on something that now I believe stole part of my life (or I willingly gave it, was brainwashed, whatever).
When I found out how to study, really study, the bible it was great to have the biblical knowledge. Then after a while I wanted answers to the contractions I found, and I had to further investigate, which eventually led to liberation of mind and being my true self.
When I started my investigation, it was not out of rebellion, but it was done to find the truth. I wanted to find out why certain biblical passages said these things. My studies took me to places I did not intend on.
I wish I would have investigated earlier.
I see things much differently now. How can researching and validating one's religion/holy books be condemned? If God knows our thoughts and one has questions but does not investigate how can that be sincere worship?
