Question
personal attacks will not be tolerated and will be mod alerted, if you wish to set someone apart use generalities, such as specific religion not speific person on SD for example

you dont get the right to feel insulted, u have been warned...
so, peeps, if you dont believe in god, do you feel that ones that do are delusional?
a lot of people will sight karma or other things as 'he got what he had coming' but i argue that it's all a mathematical randomness that on a small scale might seem like karma
perfect example is: when you play poker and u push with the best hand, a LOT of times, you can predict/be so sure that the card will come that will beat you even if the chance of it coming is less than 1:6. when the card comes, some might argue it as karma, but i argue that its all random, just on a small scale randomness doesn't work
discuss....

The question was: Which takes more guts, to live life as if there is an afterlife or to live as if this is all there is?
1. To live believing in god and worshiping him and being all religious and shit, and NOT living life to it's fullest extent but then THINKING that there's an afterlife and be set for it.
OR
2. live life to it's fullest, no regrets, but then if there is an afterlife you're going to hell.
Which one takes more balls?
I do agree that the question is not unbiased. Because the religious people would chose #2, and the non-religious people would chose #1, so the question is somewhat pointless.

does it take more balls to blindly believe in a brothers grymm fairtale or to live life like you should (think about this: a lot of people have cancers going throuhg familes or heart attacks, so say as an example you have a history on either, and u almost sure u be dead before u hit 55, u think that by being pious monk and such, u'll get to live til 100?, bad genes are bad genes"
thing is, this afterlife is what you call a gimmick, since u have nothing but fairly tales to go on, asking ppl to believe in something that noone has any proof off or living their life to the fullest is obviously 1 sided answer

But then the religious people would go to heaven when they die at age 55 and live forever in comfort, while the non-religious people would die at age 55 and go to hell and live forever in torment.
Show some respect to your fellow man, Mav... I thought you were better than reducing yourself to simple name calling just because you don't understand someone.
I have seen and felt reasons why I believe what I believe.
Ultimately, I revert back to my original choice. It is each person's decision. You will choose to believe what you want to believe and I will choose to believe what I want to believe. But ultimately someone will pay the consequences, either here on earth or in the after life.
until i am...
and believe is not proof
