Die Hard Skeptics and Scoffers

[Davian]

The Bible says you are either for God or against God. You are either a friend of God or an enemy of God. Some people like in Pascal's Wager seem to think that it would be better to error on the side of caution. If there really is a God...

And if not, he is just a character in a book. Nothing to be against, really.

Pascal's wager fails, in that it does not address which deity you are supposed to believing in, that you can 'choose' to believe, or that you could believe in multiple, mutually exclusive deities.

I love it when Pascal's Wager is brought up, and it is labeled as such in the OP.

LOL LLOJ. Don't think I have seen that one. What a shame!

Saucy, I saw your signature in a post about sceptics and scoffers:

The irony is simply delicious. To it, I can only make two replies:

And, since this sort of logical rebuttal works so well, let's disprove toast!

Makes perfect sense.

College so far:
4 units of biology

26 units of mathematics

None have explained toast...

It seems explaining the paradox of the existence of toast will be my new obsession. Thanks a lot ass-holes.

It is very simply explained by 4321 non-linear differential equations in 42! unknowns.

The Bible says you are either for God or against God. You are either a friend of God or an enemy of God. Some people like in Pascal's Wager seem to think that it would be better to error on the side of caution. If there really is a God who created this universe then He maybe powerful enough that it maybe a good idea for us to be on His good side. The issue then becomes do people actually live the life that God calls us to live.

So I wonder if this can go either way. If people can claim to believe and not live the life we are called to live. Then can people claim NOT to believe yet live the life that God calls us to live? I think that most Christians would agree that to be a Christian you have to be born again. If the power of God is not working in us then we are just not able to live a life that is well pleasing to the God that created us.

2 Tim 3 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
