While walking my dogs this morning beside the lake I fell into a reverie.
I imagined a time in the far distant future when most ABers were in Heaven. The atheists, though bemused, were as happy as anyone else to be there. But they soon moved to a remote corner of Elysium and began a debate.
'If we don't believe in this place how can we be here?'

Will you, if you're an atheist, be happy to admit you're wrong?

I ponder deeply on these things but cannot think everyone has a separate soul. There seems to be a shared 'life force' occurring in everything capable of sustaining it.

I can honestly say that I would be happy to be wrong, it is never going to happen anyway. I can't see the point of wasting my valuable happy time on exalting something non-existing.

Sandy, if I'm wrong, I'm happy to admit it.

Elderman, //some people have stopped believing in God because of what they were taught in church.//

That isn't why I don't believe in your God. I read the bible.

//He asked: “Where did evil come from?

....and?

Elderman

Well a Wise man once said:
The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard is: "Fear the True God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man. For the true God himself will bring every sort of work into the judgement in relation to every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad".

I couldn't have put that better myself.

Who was the wise man that said that, Elderman?

I cannot believe the absolute tosh that is being written here by sandyroe and elderman. You are all being too polite to them. When people talk absolute rubbish and make up quotations that don't even make sense then the rest of us must be clear that we think what they are saying is tosh.
We should keep in mind the sayings of a great modern saint:
"They would kill us in the name of their hallucinations. We must not hesitate to expose them as enemies of reason and purveyors of madness"
Chapter 2 lines 5-6

With respect to Pascal's wager -

I wouldn't want to be standing next to any Christians on Judgment Day when they admit to trying to cash in on His only begotten Son's crucifiction and death. Nor would I expect God would be placated by any suggestion that the Bible (any of them) is in any way representative of His word.

I much prefer the unlikely possibility that I might actually end up in Hell for no good reason to that of finding myself kneeling before God knowing I'm about to get what I have coming to me.

Elderman

For many people happiness revolves around good health, material possessions, and pleasant companionship. Yet, there are people who have all of that but who are unhappy. For men and women dedicated to God, the Bible provides a concept of happiness that is quite different from the general view.(Matt 5:3)
