If I’m wrong, I’ve used my belief in the Lord to help keep me morally straight. It hasn’t always worked and I often fall wayyyy short of Him, as do all Christians.
Now, if you don’t believe and you are wrong you will likely have a much larger problem if not saved before it is too late. Eternity is kind of a long time to live in hell, ya think?
I believe in god but the church these days is a racket to many phaaguts and to many chiefs not enuff injuns I can talk to the lord on the creek bank 😉
You'll probably be pretty well served by that talking on the creek bank.
You may want to ask about the Costco thing though. Go for a tryout one day when they have a lot of folks serving samples. You can get a pretty good snack time for free out of it at least.
EB,
Makes for a cheap date night with the spousal unit.
Be prepared for some boom boom when you get home. They love that sheit.
I don't. I was raised Catholic because of my Mom, at around age 14 we could make our own decision. Both of my sisters did the same thing. My Father a retired Earth scientist has always been an atheist. My first day in catechism, which I believe was in fourth grade. The teacher started telling the story of Noah's Ark. Even at that age I thought this is a bunch of bullshit! My Father never ever influenced me and I didn't know about his beliefs until 16-17 years old. My folks are both 88 and are Highschool sweethearts and have been married 69 years. My Father has always supported her on everything.
I doesn't bother me that People practice religion. It's just extremely upsetting of the devious side of it. Alway's wondered how many members feel the same.
But what if your wrong?
And what if you're wrong, and the correct answer is Mormons?
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

I just don't know whether heaven is going to be all it's cracked up to be, at least for me. I like hunting, not sure whether I will be able to do that...possibly you can't kill anything up there. Perhaps there's a lot a beautiful ladies up there, but again, not sure if you can do anything with them. And there's going to be several weak hypocrites who I am pretty sure will just manage to scrape in and get to heaven, not sure if I want to see them again. Just hope I'm not bored doing all the "nice" things up there.

God, by definition, cannot be defined. Therefore, any belief in God is equally beyond definition, that can and does, exist as evidenced in the life one lives. Christians, particularly the less intellectual non denominational types, dismiss all scientific knowledge of the universe, as well as ancient thought that preceded formalized religion over millions of years of human development. Yet they are quite arrogant in their certain presumptions that bracket and constrain the Almighty in ridiculous costumes, reciting self serving lines from some proprietary screen play that reflect their self affirming claims, based upon what they alone believe and nothing more. The contact high of their mutual mass formation psychosis is very real and moving. I have experienced it myself and do not disparage the comfort of such oneness of spirit. As long as the humility required of the human condition of mortality and limited vision "through a glass darkly" restrains haughtiness of pride, such worship can be quite comforting. Comprehending God within the immeasurable universe itself should caution, if not silence, all preachers, evangelists, and theologians regardless of cloth or doctrine. Quakers at least have the good sense to remain silent, whatever other mischief they may have been guilty. It is instructive to remember how a Roman Emperor counseled tolerance of early Christians for their exemplary behavior he saw as a worthy philosophy, not religion. So yes, as Don Juan said, everything we know is on the table while everything we do not know isn't. God.

Yep I do
Had to toggle your post
That gives me the reason
What a chicken [bleep]. LOL
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
There's a reason why there is a stairway to Heaven, and a highway to hell......
Where is this staircase located?
The stairway is a little bit harder to find than the highway; which since you didn't ask about the highway, you must already know where that is. Good luck with the choices you make in life. That's all I have to say about it.
