[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for the sake of argument, let's say you are right and it's just a story. What do believers lose?  Nothing, we are better off living our lives as Jesus wanted us to.  We aren't missing anything.  What do non believers lose if they are wrong?  Eternity    That's quite a gamble.[/quote]

No, you lose your individual free thought. You would have lived a life as a slave to an artificial story, praying to a God that doesn't exist, expended time and money on a lie that was completely unnecessary. You would have placed your faith on rules other men invented for you, instead of thinking critically to make up your own mind on what a rich and rewarding life is.

Given that this is the only life anyone of us has, do you want to live as a free person, or a slave to a religion?[/quote]

Wow.  Did it ever occur to you that the "time and money" spent is not wasted.  It goes to help people in need, which is exactly
what God asks us to do.  Assuming there isn't a God (I 100% believe there is) is that money now wasted?

Would you care to specify an "invented rule" that would be harmful if followed?

Believers are plenty capable of thinking freely.  We choose to believe, not out of fear, but out of love and respect. I certainly do not feel like a slave. Have you ever read the bible?[/quote]
