>For sure.. But philosophing a little it will send us to a basic question.. If our existence stops on 80,90,100y old what a tremenduos waste of time..

Depends on how you use that time. To each his own.

>Personally speaking, If I distrusted a little that the promissed showed on the bible it isn't true.. Well my only logic goal would be to take the best from this few years.. No rules.. Only to take the best advantage of everything.. Married for what? 5 womans at least! Little Money? No, all the one available! Friendship? Love? Partners? Work? No.. yes for Mariruana! Cocaine! 12y scotch always!

Another thing that makes me distrust religion is that they claim "no religion - no rules", implying a monopoly on morality, further implying that faithless people are immoral.

I don't want to go into that line of dispute, not again. It still has a lot of toothmarks since it was last chewed on here.

If you think religion is the only thing that keeps one from squandering their life on cheap pleasures, then of course you think people should be religious.

>But the curious thing in the end of this life with no God on it will be.. Any of this choice fullfill the needs of my soul? Curious thing.. Don't you think so?

OK, so what do you think what makes me what I am? I'm not gambling, not stealing, not cheating, never took any illegal drugs, was very moderate (on the average) with alcohol (had a few wild years at college, but who didn't), our kids turned out just fine... and neither I, nor my wife nor the kids have any religious inclination whatsoever. Nor is any one of us overly indulging in any of these cheap pleasures. Did we get a free pass from this God guy?

>Please fill free to share this rich knowledge here.. Who knows that DAY has come to me?

Christian, right? Then we can't talk about sex. It's dirty in Christianity.

>Means to trust on the existence of a not seen, not smelled, not touched, not heard thing..

Had a lot of abstractions in my studies. I'm a mathematician, so to understand those things, I had to develop quite an extensive skill in abstract thinking. Not that it required any faith - it was all on condition, "if we assume these axioms and the logic to be valid, then this has these properties".

>Somebody says.. ohh, I have to see to believe.. or any other prove/evidence!! But the fact is if you need any other evidence the meaning of the word FAITH doesn't make a sense.. Gotit?

I know, if you believe you don't need proof. If you want proof, you want to use logic to dispell your doubts. If you have doubts, you don't really believe.

So I'm not expecting, nor asking for, any evidence. I'm OK with my doubts.
