[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:12, do you believe he would punish in the afterlife those who don't achieve fellowship with him on earth?

Muslima, if I could know there was a god and that his purpose in creating us was to have someone to worship him, I couldnt worship such a god. [/quote]

What about if you also knew that eternal punishment awaited you if you refused to worship him?  Would you still refuse, or would you try to worship him and hope that his magical powers didn't extend to being able to read your mind and know you weren't  sincere and were just trying to get into heaven? [/quote]

I can't believe you can fake your way in, if belief is in fact required. Pascal's wager is ridiculous. [/quote]

But what if you're really, really trying to believe -- you're sincere about wanting to believe, you just can't, if you're being honest about it, say that you for sure believe.  If there is a God, this is how me made you - skeptical -- and then he'd punish you for it, for eternity? [/quote]

You need to go over and read the discussion on the thread about  "my views about religion." This has been discussed and discussed. As stated there, "believing" is not something that you really, really try to do. You either open yourself up to a relationship with God through Christ, or you don't. You don't "try" to become a believer, like you "try" to become a Nationals fan.[/quote]
