@Bob,
Are you saying my Death bed confession won’t work?
Crap, Guess I need a new plan.
.
I’m not afraid of dying, I’m living now, so I guess it must end someday.
Do I think about what happens after? Why should I?
Will worrying about something I can’t change help me?
BTW, When you die, you stop living, it’s over that’s all.
.
You are correct, you can’t save me by yourself, however…
If your buddy God, were to show up, and prove himself to me, I’d give it a thought.
.
Peace,

1: Who puts religion into science classes? Science and religion are indeed not related.
2: If you call the Christian belief a myth, you show how little you know.
3: If you knew anything about Christianity, you would not say that being a Christian AND a “pastafarian” at the same time, is possible.

@Bob, may I ask where you got your statistic? What demographic does it refer to? Is it limited geographically, if so to where? If not, my I ask what non partisan orginisation conducted the survey, and why (this, mind you, is often not the same as where you got the statistics from)?
.
Unless you can provide references, please annotate all numbers you give with the phrase “in my opinion” (or something to that effect), otherwise you are commiting a form of fraud, and your comment will not be regarded as valid.
.
As for the deathbed conversion, stow it. The “no athiests in a foxhole” schtick has been used to death. It is a highly offensive line.
To my knowledge, there has not been one verifiable shred of evidence presented to upport this view. Considering that I spend a fair whack of my time debating this very topic, I think it would have come up if there was.
What possible reason would we have for it?
WE DON’T BELIEVE IN A GOD!
.
To us, the idea of turning to a god on our deathbed is as alien as the idea of turning to a toaster for moral guidance is to you. We don’t “deny god”, we just accept that there is no valid reason for believing in him (faith is *not* a reason). IF there is a god at the end of all of this, and assuming it both
a) gives a rat’s arse about humanity
b) can talk to us after we’re dead and
c) is even remotey reasonable
we athiests have nothing to worry about. We lived our lives in our lives, and tried to be good people for no other reason then being good.
.
We have nothing to fear. However, what of those who claim to follow the will of such a being, yet blatantly disregard the vast majority of its supposed commands? If I was them, then I would fear death. As is, it is just one more adventure.
.
So grow some balls and face us with real arguments, rather than resorting to a baldfaced lie.

I have nothing against religion, if some people need to be threatened to be a good person. But they shouldn’t misuse it or claim they are the only ones who are right.
For me, it is like children have to believe in Santa Claus, to behave.
But I want this place to be a good place to live in peace and health for my children and their children, that’s enough reason for me to try to live a good life. I think this life is the only one we have, so we have to make the best out of it! We are the ones who have to restore peace, save the environment and love others, there is no Santa in the sky who will snip his fingers and do it for us!

“5: Many of those who do not believe in Christianity, have repent. – They never regretted it.”

… and here we go again. RalpO, many people who do not believe in hinduism have converted (converted, not repent, c-o-n-v-e-r-t-e-d). So have many who do not believe in;
Buddhism
Islam
Shintoism
Wicca
Bahai
Judaism
Athiesm
Agnosticism
Rastafarianism
etc…
.
As for some of your other comments;
.
“If you call the Christian belief a myth, you show how little you know.”
.
Let’s see…
myth – noun – tale with supernatural characters, usually of how the world and mankind began. Collins Pocket Dictionary and Thesaurus. Sounds pretty apt to me…
.
“4: Those who have felt God/Jesus, know what is right, and what are wrong. You “pastafarians” have chosen not to understand Christianity, you do probably not want to hear it either. (Unless for fun)”
.
Please, for the love of pasta, get some facts before making wild accusations. I was born and baptised catholic, raised anglican, have gone through the whole faith thing. I was even in religious boy scouts for Pete’s sake. I’m hardly exceptional here. We all know a fair bit more about the faith then you give us credit for. We’ve been there, and grew out of it.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did.

Unless you can provide references, please annotate all numbers you give with the phrase “in my opinion” (or something to that effect), otherwise you are commiting a form of fraud, and your comment will not be regarded as valid.
.
As for the deathbed conversion, stow it. The “no athiests in a foxhole” schtick has been used to death. It is a highly offensive line.
To my knowledge, there has not been one verifiable shred of evidence presented to upport this view. Considering that I spend a fair whack of my time debating this very topic, I think it would have come up if there was.
What possible reason would we have for it?
WE DON’T BELIEVE IN A GOD!
.
To us, the idea of turning to a god on our deathbed is as alien as the idea of turning to a toaster for moral guidance is to you. We don’t “deny god”, we just accept that there is no valid reason for believing in him (faith is *not* a reason). IF there is a god at the end of all of this, and assuming it both
a) gives a rat’s arse about humanity
b) can talk to us after we’re dead and
c) is even remotey reasonable
we athiests have nothing to worry about. We lived our lives in our lives, and tried to be good people for no other reason then being good.
.
We have nothing to fear. However, what of those who claim to follow the will of such a being, yet blatantly disregard the vast majority of its supposed commands? If I was them, then I would fear death. As is, it is just one more adventure.
.
So grow some balls and face us with real arguments, rather than resorting to a baldfaced lie.

I have nothing against religion, if some people need to be threatened to be a good person. But they shouldn’t misuse it or claim they are the only ones who are right.
For me, it is like children have to believe in Santa Claus, to behave.
But I want this place to be a good place to live in peace and health for my children and their children, that’s enough reason for me to try to live a good life. I think this life is the only one we have, so we have to make the best out of it! We are the ones who have to restore peace, save the environment and love others, there is no Santa in the sky who will snip his fingers and do it for us!

“5: Many of those who do not believe in Christianity, have repent. – They never regretted it.”
.
… and here we go again. RalpO, many people who do not believe in hinduism have converted (converted, not repent, c-o-n-v-e-r-t-e-d). So have many who do not believe in;
Buddhism
Islam
Shintoism
Wicca
Bahai
Judaism
Athiesm
Agnosticism
Rastafarianism
etc…
.
As for some of your other comments;
.
“If you call the Christian belief a myth, you show how little you know.”
.
Let’s see…
myth – noun – tale with supernatural characters, usually of how the world and mankind began. Collins Pocket Dictionary and Thesaurus. Sounds pretty apt to me…
.
“4: Those who have felt God/Jesus, know what is right, and what are wrong. You “pastafarians” have chosen not to understand Christianity, you do probably not want to hear it either. (Unless for fun)”
.
Please, for the love of pasta, get some facts before making wild accusations. I was born and baptised catholic, raised anglican, have gone through the whole faith thing. I was even in religious boy scouts for Pete’s sake. I’m hardly exceptional here. We all know a fair bit more about the faith then you give us credit for. We’ve been there, and grew out of it.

Atheists would agree with that.
We Pastafarians would agree too. We’ll be too busy drinking beer and oggling strippers to bother with trivialities from our mortal lives.

Wags, If they understood logic they’re hardly likely to be Christians now are they.
Shish! Get with the programme.
The most logical and intellectual founded religion is Pastafarianism.
The holy book of Pastafarianism contains more graphs than all the other mainstream religions put together.

Ours is the only religion firmly backed up by hard science.

RAmen to the couple of well-spoken and reasoned posts you made there. The sort of posts that make me happy to have become an atheist (like you after Catholic upbringing). And sorry if my reply is going to be of a less patient nature.
