Who is rejecting anytjhing?
You cannot reject something that doesn't exist.
As far as the teachins go, all good handy stuff to be sure, but mostly
common sense. Why get *religious* about living like a decent civilised
person?

Complete crap. I will die within probably 30 years. So what? should I
spend my declining years in self deception to make it feel better? Might
as well become a heroin addict. The effects are more immediate I believe.

Not a lot really. I am not sure where it is, even if I still have one.
It's deeply boring book anyway.

Look, get it into your spiritually brainwashed head. No one here is
rejecting religion. Or Jesus, or Mohammed or Confucius or the tooth
fairy. WE simply grew out of them and learnt how to live without
constantly worrying if Big Daddy in the Sky was gonna tan our a.ses for
being bad.
We were, he didn't. We were good, we got ripped off. We threw away all
the useless garbage, grew up, and settled down to find a modus vivendi
that was the makings of a halfway decent life, without asking some
priest how to do it. That's all.
We don't reject god, we just a are totally BORED with religion,. and it
does nothing for us OK? We live for months at a time without even
thinking about religion or God, get on as decently as anyone else.until
you come along and start blathering about it in a place where its
totally not wanted. We are here to discuss Toy Airplanes. God doesn't
know anything abut Toy Airplanes. They are not even mentioned in the bible.

Hey D.H.,
Jeez, reading you is getting almost easy enough to sell the plans...
So religion is another one of your hot buttons, or were you just trying to
prove you are a DH.

Hi
You would, of course, never find out he didn't exist!!! 8^)

Well, if there isn't one, when you die you will find NOTHING out.
You will be dead.
That not with standing, your argument is called Pascal's wager.

I would think that your "god" wouldn't be too happy that your sole
reason for believing in him/her was because it is the better bet.
