[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all about faith. I'm the type of person who is curious and must have answers to questions. Being a Christian, it's very hard to let go of these questions and realize that we will never know the answer. While it might sound like a cop-out, it really is all about having faith.

I look at it like this: What if Christians have it all wrong? What is there is no God/Jesus/heaven? Well, I'm out nothing. I die and that's it. But if I'm right, wow......what a beautiful and glorious thing it will be!!!!!

I have nothing to lose if Jesus Christ/God turn out to be illusions, but *everything* to lose if they are real. In addition, believing in God has brought me peace and strength at difficult times. [/quote]

Actually, you're out quite a bit.  What if atheists are wrong and *you* are wrong?  What if the Muslims are right and a belief in Muhammed is necessary to salvation.  Then you'll be rotting in Hell with the atheists.  What a shame!  Maybe you should convert to Islam, just in case.  After all, if Islam is a sham, you'll be out nothing.  But if they're right...what a beautiful and glorious thing it will be!!!!

Don't even get me started on the folks who don't believe in Poseidon.  I mean, what does it cost you to believe in the Greek Sea-God?  If you die and you're wrong and He doesn't exist, you lose nothing.  But if you die and you're a true believer?  What a beautiful and glorious thing it will be!!!

Problem is, there are thousands and thousands of things to believe.  As long as you can hold all of them in your head simultaneously, you're in luck.  If not, you're in trouble.[/quote]
