    Everything you believe about religion is wrong?
    God does not exist?
    Jesus is mythological?
    Heaven and hell are what you make of life?
    Your sins are you being human?

    What if:


    That would make a difference of there were an only true religion, and its god were jealous and whimsical.
    Otherwise, the question is indeterminate when it comes to this life.


    Makes no difference in effect as far as living this life is concerned. Believing in God, Jesus and an afterlife does not absolve anyone from striving to live this life as good as they can.

    If believing in God, Jesus and an afterlife would absolve anyone from striving to live this life as good as they can, and the truth would be that God does not exist and Jesus is mythological -- then such a person has knowingly allowed to let his life be hell.


    Again, that would make a difference of there were an only true religion, and its god were jealous and whimsical.
    Otherwise, the question is indeterminate when it comes to this life.

    Since all Gods are, by human nature, anthropomorphized, he has a point.

    Well that is the indoctrination of 'original sin', which i hate. it guilts you right from the start. it is a strategy to divide you from yourself so as to rule you

    It is same as Jung is quoted as saying :
    "Religion is a defense against religious experience".....and no, i dont think it is wrong.

    the next thing is how would you define religious experience?

    It is the very understanding that we cannot but anthromorphize that leads us to actively avoid anthropomorphic reductionism when defining God!
