If you believe in God and God does exist, you will be rewarded with eternal life in heaven: thus an infinite gain.
If you do not believe in God and God does exist, you will be condemned to remain in hell forever: thus an infinite loss.
If you believe in God and God does not exist, you will not be rewarded: thus an insignificant loss.
If you do not believe in God and God does not exist, you will not be rewarded, but you have lived your own life: thus an insignificant gain.

- I just love the part where a god with all power created the universe in 6 days but then needed to rest on the 7th.
Weak god, I say!futurefood - I love the part where the all knowing and powerful god failed miserably getting his message across to humanity in a coherent way. Really shit the bed on that.monospaced

- We finna works it out, I accepted God's gift as an altar boy. I'm now waiting for the NDA cheque to arrive praise the Lord.deadsperm
- @rob, I'm waiting for ANY rational reason to believe a god — or YOUR god — even exists in the first place.monospaced
- And whatever you think is that reason, apply it to anything besides belief in god, and tell me if it doesn't sound ridiculousmonospaced

- 1. we need an outright ban on religion.
2. we need to lock up these charlatans
3. we need mental health services for believers._niko - Hey _niko , 1. Maybe, never gonna happen though. 2. For what?. 3. You are as much a believer as the people you're ridiculing.Morning_star
- there's spirituality, philosophy and a way of life. Then there's these guys and this nonsense._niko
- By the same logic, there are some very bad policeman who abuse their authority. Isn't it time for an outright ban on the police? I agree these guys are...Morning_star
- ...some of the worst people on the planet but it's not because of belief, it's because they're assholes.Morning_star
- I just need a new plane. Can I get a hand clap?BonSeff
- Morning star, i have no issues with religious tenets or the philosophies of religion but religion as big business and totalitarian control._niko
- if Jesus said turn the other cheek I'm all for that, great way to live our lives. But when they say nonsense like the world is 5000 years old and made in 7 days_niko
- by an imaginary god and moses parted the red sea and all the other garbage which you must believe or else suffer eternal damnation i have a huge problem with it_niko
- We just need to separate the philosophy of Religion from the nonsensical and repressive dogma_niko
- 6 days, _niko. He rested on the 7th.BonSeff
- i stand corrected :)_niko
- _niko. Regarding Dogma, absolutely agree. With regard to belief, whether that's the earth being 6000 years old ,or Mohammed flying about on a winged horse...Morning_star
- ...or the great rainbow serpent forming the mountains and valleys it doesn't matter, we all have belief/faith to some extent or another.Morning_star
- Non believers aren’t as much believers as believers. Cmon.monospaced
- I don’t believe in anything supernatural simply because there is no perfect explanation yet. That isn’t belief, it’s simply a lack of it.monospaced
- Regarding this kind of extremism, it works itself out in the end. Their ignorance and misunderstandings will ensure they won’t make it far.monospaced
- 1. we need an outright ban on religion.

"Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo"
-I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care
-Epicurus
- yup. i quote this often.renderedred
- I developed this philosophy throughout my life and just now found the Epicureans. A lot of what Sam Harris believes is based on their philosophy too._niko
- Humanists and Athiets in general can trace their beliefs back to this rationalist philosophy_niko
- Yupmonospaced
- I have not thunk, therefor I cannot amGnash
- @_niko Sam Harris is accidentally right on occasion, but isn't this an obvious point to begin with?garbage
- rumors are that the translation of non curo into I do not care is not accurateuan
- garbage i don't think it is obvious to a large portion of the world's population. The portion that believes in an afterlife and a divine and cruel creator._niko
- His point, 2500 years ago is that a big source of our unhappiness is the fear of death and the fear of punishment from god. His point is that it's all bullshit._niko
- A stopped clock is right twice a day. Sam Harris is a boring moron that is nowhere as smart as he thinks he is.garbage
- He makes atheists look like douchebags, but that's emblematic of almost everyone that identifies with the IDW.garbage
- could be, comes of as pompous for sure, and probably borrowed most of his ideas elsewhere like Epicurus' Trillema which he frequently talks about_niko
- this wasn't something Epicurus said, it was the epitaph that his followers has on their grave stones. They don't care because they are now dead.sarahfailin

Fuck islam!
- Why that one?monospaced
- We already knew that you hated muslims based on of your posts scattered throughout QBN, duh.utopian
- 99% of the posts here are, fuck Christians. You haven’t once questioned any of those. LolGnash
- I hate all religions equally.
LOLutopian - *giggle... what Gnash said.PonyBoy
- Oh boy, How long since last qbn outburst?futurefood
- Which Islam?i_monk
- FUCK christians.monospaced
- better, gnash? you totally missed my point, which was why single out one of countless idiotic belief systems. Also, way to get triggered ;)monospaced
- Autism must be interesting, sometimesGnash
- Oops, wrong threadGnash
- are you calling Islam an idiotic belief system?Gnash
- first off, I'm not autistic ... and secondly, yes, all religions are idiotic belief systems ... why even ask such an obvious question?monospaced
- it's not even fundamentally different from christianity in any way I can discernmonospaced
- I wouldn’t have thought you were IslamophobicGnash
- I’m not. Is that really what you deduced or are you purposefully being dense? Fuck all religions. All equally irrelevant and detrimental to progress.monospaced
- You sound like you might be Christian which would explain your defensiveness about when people rightly criticize it.monospaced
- I’m MuslimGnash
- lolzPonyBoy
- if you're muslim (LOL), then why does it bother you that Christianity is singled out more often than other religions?monospaced
- It doesn’t bother me. I’m just noting the obvious hypocrisyGnash
- i'm not sure this is hypocrisy at all, since I am atheist and view all religions equallymonospaced
- you also seem intent on labeling me with something negative, leading me to believe you are in fact bothered that I shit on Christianitymonospaced
- The reason we do that more than other religions is because Christians represent the religion that is most relevant AND detrimental to our nation these days.monospaced
- If Islam was a major religion in the US and was behind a lot of the issues here, it would be more forefront in the mocking order. Does that make sense?monospaced
- If you're an atheist neither faith is "relevant or detrimental"... you should deny both equally and either judge (or not judge) both equally.PonyBoy
- But that (obviously) isn't the case on QBN. Make fun of Xtianity here and you're laughed with. Make fun of Islam and you're labeled racist etc.PonyBoy
- Those are facts, mono... all you have to do is scroll backward in this thread for them to be undeniably apparent. Also—NO SHIT xtianity is repped more (duh)...PonyBoy
- ... on this site... so that makes it 'okay' to shit all over it? :) 'You guys' almost always trip out if it's Islam being shit on.
That's called... hypocrisy.PonyBoy
