Your conclusion is that the mind creates god. With that conclusion, you would also have to agree that if the mind creates god, then everyone has created their own god without there actually being that many gods. Everyone creates their own god(s)/goddess(es) therefore whatever you believe is correct due to the fact that your mind has created it.

With that being said, everyone is correct in their religion.

I remember reading that the Roman empire was actually fairly alright with any religion in the beginning. It just incorporated them into its own religion. It was only when christianity came along in Europe that the idea of "My god is the only true god" came about (in europe, don't know about the rest of the world). Before that, many people believed in several...

And why would it be risky to follow something that makes you feel as if you have a purpose in life?
tell you the truth its bean proven that kids join gangs because it makes them feel like they have a purpose.

i think gangs are risky business.



also me not being of the religious type but wants one i could believe. i have studied most main stream religions and they are built opposing each other but stick to a general rule set.
so to put it simple religion puts people against those of other religions.

in a world with out religion or a world where everyone is the same religion we'd have a lot less war. and a lot less people claiming there god is the only god and everyone should believe you.

Buddhists don't believe their religions is the only "way". Religion Doesn't get you closer to God N00B it only tells you what you have to do to get closer to God and essentially all major religions tell you to to be good to others and yourself and that's not "too risky". If you picked the wrong god or religion, oh well what you gonna do about it when you're DEAD. If we knew for certain that there is no god at all then we might as well be cunts and douches to each other. At least in my opinion.
I don't believe in god and I don't be a **** or a DOUCHE to people. I?m good to people because i like to see them happy. If someone NEEDs religion to be good, there not truly good
I didn't say you need religion to be good. Most religions "reward" you for being good; so by being good you will go to heaven despite not believing in God. It may be a godless "be here now" heaven but that's why you are good with others so YOU can feel good about it right now and if you are good to people all the time you must be a saint.
And I thought this thread was about "Proving [OP] Wrong".

Wait, from my keyboard cometh the inevitable "don't assume there'll be a flame war" comment.

Max, you shouldn't assume all religion threads will end up as flame wars. Scratch that, I just looked at some of the more recent posts, I guess you were right. But I'm still posting since I got halfway through this post and I'm not about to have that time end up being "wasted time".

At least 75% percent of the world is wrong about God and the spiritual world.

Should be interesting to see who's right when we die.

Just go with the majority religion. Its probably safest.
HELL YEAH! CHRISTIANITY!
I believe that is George Carlin's hat philosophy.
George Carlin
You ever notice that? Any time you see two groups of people who really hate each other, chances are good they're wearing different kind of hats. Keep an eye on that, it might be important.
There's more here [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Carlin].

why does it matter? by the time you find out if there is a god or not and what type of god or gods there are you will be dead.

I'll need to wait 200 years to see if I'll be a Saint, but only if they dont know I'm an Atheist

And most religion may say that they reward good IE Christianity, but they also let you get away with murder if you repent, so in away, people will do what they want because they know they?re going to heaven. And all that don?t believe go to hell, so they're followrs try and get overs to join the church to SAVE them.

It maybe the same for after religions, but i talk about what i know(or think i know)

And about the OP, I'll defend it because its close to my Logic!

1. Believe in God
2. Die
3. ?????
4. Profit!

or

1. Do not believe in God
2. Die
3. ??????
4. Actually that's it, because you're dead and there's no afterlife


Either way....
