Post 200! Ok tt's just a random trivia for ur to know. Other than tt, post 200 has totally no meaning whatsoever.
Interesting thing i read today. It's called Pascal's Wager. Basically the thought process goes like this: If God exists, and u believe in God, you'll go to heaven. And therefore be able to enjoy heavenly afterlife. And if God doesnt exist, but you still believe in a god, it's ok, u have nothing to lose. However, if God exists, and u dun believe in God, then u will go to hell and suffer eternal punishment.
So from what i've described, it seems like believing is the only way to go. Why, cos if u believe, then at least there's some chance of a benefit. Whereas, if u dun believe, there's no benefit at all, and rather, there's a chance of a loss.
Apparently, this is what some evangelists preach to pple. And it almost makes perfect sense.
But there's a very good answer to this "wager". And it's called the Aethist's Wager. Basically, you dun have to spend your whole life thinking abt whether this God exists or not. Just spend your whole life doing something good and worthwhile.
So when you die, people will remember you for all the deeds you've done. And if there really is a God, he being a good God, will send you to heaven nonetheless. And if there isnt a God afterall, it still isnt so bad, cos everyone remembers u like a hero or smthing. And if there is a God, but he's a fucker who still sends u to hell even though u are a good person but doesnt believe in him, then it doesnt really matter whether u believe at all already, since he's such a fucker and there's no point believing in a fucker as we've all learnt in life.
The entire argument is alittle bit more complex, but the above is just my version of it. So yea. I dun believe in the existence of a omnipotent entity. I believe in me though. I call it Chang-ism. Anyone wanna subscribe to this new-found religion? Start tithing u bitches!
