Atheists, why not pick a Religion?

Just incase your wrong and something DOES exist out there, they wouldnt be happy you dont believe in them lol

Maybe create your own religion that believes in every religion just incase ya know?

I don't think picking a religion "just in case" is in quite the spirit folks expect...duxup

I don't see why I should have to conform to what the majority thinks. I like the idealogies a lot of religions have, but I just don't like the idea behind it in general. Silent-Hal

If the majority of the world believe in something..wouldnt you think for a second that hey..maybe they could be right? not saying we are..but how can a couple billion be wrongcee1gee

That's the whole reason I turned atheist in the first place, was I was only doing it out of fear of Heaven and Hell, not out of love for God, so it felt empty and wrong and I was tired of worrying about it.get-ka12

Hm. We don't believe in any sort of 'Divine Being', and if there was one and we were just 'being on the safe side' then we'd be in more trouble with him/her/it. Also, this thread = trolling much?Relicki

So far the most convincing and well thought out religion I have encountered is Jediism, I suppose I would convert if I get a free ligthsaber for doing so.

Have you read anything about history? Ever find a situation where a majority is wrong?

Argumentum ad populum - You should read up on it.

Counter question. Theists: How do you pick one religion? How do you know that your relgion is right and the only pathway to your God?Bluestorm-Kalas

[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]either this is a joke thread, or OT is 14 years old. believing in god for the off chance that their actually is a god and you want to go to heaven is not the reason to be religious. i wont say all athiests, but i myself personally pride myself on not needing to be a sheep to a religion and not needing to follow a belief / rule system to govern my life and tell me how to live it, or even guide me. cee1gee

well then thats just sad. your philosophy is that you would rather live your life in fear of being incorrect ( not believing in god, but then dying and finding out he is real, thus not getting into heaven ) , instead of thinking for yourself, and taking the logical stance that makes the most sence to you.

never is it right to make a choice based on fear. it is just like when the states wanted to seperate from Brittan, many people sided with Brittan for the sole reason that they feared that the states could not win a war, so they sided with Brittan for fear of repurcussions of siding against them. that is the kind of ideology you are promoting.

But how did I know which one is the right religion? :(

By your logic everyone is gambling.

And as Homer Simpson said, "But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder."
