[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the same thing happens as before you are conceived, i.e. nothing.

If there is a God? To be honest, I find the idea of god as conceived by religious people to be so untenable that I don't spend any time worrying about it. But certainly I believe I have lived my life with as much integrity and generosity as most religious people.[/quote]

Well, it is not about living you life with much integrity, it is about accepting his existence. The very fact that you deny Him is the biggest lack of integrity....[/quote]

This is one of the most stupid comments I've ever seen.  What does believing in a "god", for which there is no proof, have to do with integrity?[/quote]

There is proof  :idea:  you are proof  :idea: the fact that your every atom in your body works perfectly without your behind doing anything to make it so is proof that there is a God controlling everything. You think, this just happened by [b]accident?[/b]? Really??[/quote]

Random chance working on the physical universe. Yes. That's what I believe.

I think when we die, we're done. The machine no longer works and there is no one in there, once the moving parts stop working. The end.

As far as what if there is a God--- well, there are lots of opinions about what happens to atheists. Some Christians believe that we'll burn in hell for eternity. Catholics believe that there is no literal hell, but that we will be excluded from the presence of God for eternity. Some Christians believe that we will be thrown into a burning lake of fire and destroyed. Some believe that we will not be punished but we will cease to be.  Mormons believe that we will be assigned to the lowest levels of Heaven, along with the other non-Mormons. Buddhists believe that we are reincarnated until we find enlightenment. If I understand it correctly, Jews believe that  the impure are punished in Gehenna for 12 months before being allowed to enter Heaven.

That's a lot of opinions. I don't see a bit of reason why I should accept "the eternity in a lake of fire" theory over the Mormon theory that we will be consigned to "the telestial heaven." In fact, the Mormon version seems to comport much more with the theory of a loving God.
