In the Mill Upgrade thread, I stated "There is no way to prove God isn't real."
You responded: "Actually, it is impossible to prove there is a 'God'. I have yet to see any empirical evidence to prove there is."
Let's assume you are correct. "There is no empirical evidence to prove there is [a God]"
My statement still stands. It is impossible to disprove the existence of God.
So, if there is no way to prove or disprove His existence, we are at a standstill. If all is equal, would you not want to at least entertain the idea God exists? After all, if you are wrong, it means bad news in the afterlife, if there is one.
So, if you don't believe in God, it boils down to these 2 possibilities:
-Don't believe, live your life, and die. No afterlife.
Or...
-Don't believe, live your life, and die. Then, you have to spend time in Hell (I assume it is eternity, but I haven't concluded 100% that it is forever in all circumstances).
Alternatively, if you believe in God, it boils down to these 2 possibilities:
-Believe in God, live your life, and die. No afterlife.
Or...
-Believe in God, live your life, and die. THEN spend eternity in Heaven.
Again, if you can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God, it all boils down to the 4 choices above.
I don't know about you, but I'll take my chances trusting in God.
