I was reading all the posts and realized that this entire arguement, that’s all it was, was to prove that one side was the correct one and that the other one is completly wrong and the person should be punished for believing it. The basic message that should be passed whether the atheists like it or not, are the ten commandments, they are just the basic rules for people to live by and advance as a people. Thou shall not kill, thou shall not covidt thy neighbor’s wife, etc. Sounds like a a good set of guidelines to me. If there is no higher power, that doesn’t mean that people should go around killing eachother just because. To the other side of the coin, religion should not be forced upon people, the original idea was that God and the other aspects must be willingly accepted to have any perfect meaning. People are aloud to believe what they want. I personally believe that there is a higher power and that my spirit will go somewhere when I die. It just doesn’t sit right with me that I would fade into nothing when I die, but I think that’s where the original idea of heaven came from. Other people must be curious or even afraid of where they are going to end up, so they might have invented it to appease tehy’re uncertainty, which is completely understandable. Or it does exsist and I might go there. The big, big, big, big detail to this is that I will have to die to find out this matter. I can’t really say that I’m in a hurry to find out whether it exsists or not. So all I ask is that people do not let their beliefs interfere with us being good people with ourselves and others. do-follow,View this link
