How would you react..........

[IndigoChild5559]

If it could be proved beyond all doubt no god or afterlife exists, for me that would be the best news ever.

Why?

Why?

Done one life, got the Tshirt, I have no wish to go on to another.

Well, that explains why you wouldn't want there to be an afterlife.

But why no God?

…...........if it could be proved beyond any shadow of doubt no god or afterlife exist, when you die you are no more?

Actually, according to the Bible, eternal life is for righteous. I think it is easily possible that I am not righteous enough to get eternal life and I really can’t say that I have eternal life. I believe in God and I also believe it is easily possible that I still don’t get eternal life. it is not promised for those who believe God exists.


These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Mat. 25:46

For me it is not a problem, if my life doesn’t continue.

I would be relieved that once my life is over that is it, end of story. I am of the opinion that is the case, but of course there is the outside possibility I am wrong.

I have asked this question on forums before, often the reaction from devout believers is that god/afterlife exist and there is no other possibility.

Over to you.

I don't currently believe in any gods, so I would be basically unaffected.

 

[Trailblazer]

You don't know for a fact a god exists, it is only a belief.

You don't know for a fact a god does not exist, it is only a belief.

I would not mind that either, because then I could eat, drink and be merry.... Instead I am here on this forum 24/7.

That reminds me of a line from a favorite movie of mine.... If I did not believe in God, I could be off sunning myself on a beach, but instead I am here with you...

You know, this is the kind of creepy nonsense that makes the pro-homosexual crowd look spiritually debased. It fits right in with their debased and perverse gay pride parades, flaunting and promoting their sin in the face of God.

Not her fault Jesus had scantily clad young men in his entourage (Mark 14:51-52). He never married, either, which was extremely strange for a Jewish man of his era and age. So we are free to speculate.

 

[Skreeper]

You need a convincing argument? How about the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah?!

This is not an argument, this is a death threat.

Do you have an actual argument? I would prefer a secular argument that is based on reality, thanks.

Will shrug my shoulder and continue as before.
A publicly accessible and verifiable proof will be more interesting as it will affect society quite significantly especially if the very devout folks get convinced by it.

You would prefer anything that doesn't conflict with your bias.

Since he created hell and sends people there for not sucking on his toes, that's called extorting not "saving".

If people wind up in Hell it will be on them - for their unrepentant sins and for kicking the salvation of Jesus Christ to the curb.

There is no evidence that is so, you seem to relish that prospect.

No, I would prefer evidence or arguments on why my sexual orientation is evil or wrong.

So far all you managed to come up with is "Because God says so."

Care to try again?

Of course, the discovery of these cities is in no
way recognized by "mainstream" (non woo woo)
archaeology.
If you like serous hardcore, just plain crazy archaeology,
you will love Ron Wyatt. Here are photos of some
badlands interpreted as cities.

Wyatt also discovered bunch of other stuff, and withal.
proved better at amazing findings than even Indian
Jones.

God's Word is all you need to know about it. Ignore it at your own risk.

You have no evidence that it is anything to do with a god, the documents making up the Bible seem very human in their construct.

Luckily, the majority of people don't care what your holy book says. I for one don't live in a theocracy so your religious views don't matter when it comes to public policy.

Either you can make an secular argument, the only type of argument that matters when it comes to laws and policy, or you can keep your outdated views at home.

Denial of the divine isn't going to help your case.

I don't need anything or anyone to worship, thanks.
