faIth, your religious beliefs are 100% wrong. it is no longer

a matter of your faith, it is factually wrong. not real in any of

it's.beliefs.

Why in about a year?

Anyhow, if I learned that my religious beliefs were objectively, factually wrong, then I would change them to become consistent with whatever I then knew was objectively, factually accurate.

I would start a mega-church so I could tell people what is objectively, factually accurate.

Rick- to that I would say you must be a scientologist

People have a crisis of faith all the time. You have to ask very basic foundation questions. Is God real? If so, Who is God? If so, What is my response?

Go in peace and may God be with you!!! and the Schwartz....

The best of us have trials and lapses of faith but the man who truly has no belief & yearns for nothing other than the temporal- that which satiates his senses and immediate urges (sex/porn, trinkets, booze/smokes/drugs, entertainment, food, power, fame, pets, etc) will find them fleeting and wanting at the end.

Arrogance and conceit is what causes us minute beings to think that we have the answers. Life is ultimately more than just about us.

Just my 2 cents, Ricardo.

Studies show that factually disproving something people are invested in only leads them to be more convinced of their beliefs. This is most notable in conspiracy theorists but can be seen in every religion ever.

Of course, under this hypothetical, you're already convinced that you were previously wrong.

I believe rfenst said what I would do more eloquently that I was going to.

Rick, there’s a real fallacy in the prevalent thought that “there is no God, so I’ll just live it up, because this is all there is”. If there is no God, if there is no life after death, then the here and now means absolutely nothing. A nano-second after you die, you will have no conciseness. At that moment, everything you ever did, your joys, your sorrows, your relationships, your reputation, will mean nothing to you. You won’t care that your life was good or evil, or what kind of legacy you left behind. You won’t even know that you ever existed.

I think I’ll keep my faith, because without it, life is futile and meaningless. If somehow my faith is incorrect, the moment I die, I won’t even know that I was wrong, nor will I care. But what if you’re wrong?

Where's the fallacy?
