First of all we should not be having this conversation
but your comments
demand an answer. Politics and religion should only be discussed on lists

More than half of the worlds population does not believe in a god.
Believing in one is certainly ones right but it is absurd. The highest form
of life in the universe is man.
Now lets drop the conversation or make it private.
First I have seen of this conversation, but like you said - YOUR comments need an
answer... I am quite sure that hell will be full of people who agreed that there was no
God while they were alive. Unfortunaltely it'll be too late then for them to change
their mind. Now you may disagree with me, but I have one question to ask you and you can
keep the reply to yourself..... Do you really want to take that chance?

Why was what Linc said a "Troll Message"? If anything the message posted by
Gene Ehrich was the Troll! Does the fact that some of us here believe in
God scare you? Perhaps a part of you realizes the insanity of denying the
existance of God. Perhaps that's why you choose to mask your identity?
Why is it that in a Country that claims to support "Religious Freedom" and
"Tolerance" that Christians are ridiculed for thier beliefs?

Absolutely not, why should it. We are all entitled to our beliefs. I don't
begrudge you yours, don't begrudge me mine.

the
existance of God.
Denying the existence of something that in no way exists is not insane.
Believing that god exists is what is insane but we are all entitled to
believe whatever we want to.
Perhaps that's why you choose to mask your
identity?
Now that is absurd.
Why is it that in a Country that claims to support
"Religious Freedom" and
"Tolerance" that Christians are ridiculed for thier beliefs?
They are not. The whole conversation started with ridicule in the other
direction.

Just to set the record straight. If you'd look at the message I originally
posted you'd note I was replying to comments of one 'Spam Abuse

Francisco Bay Area or New Jersey based on the message headers.
Obviously you're not masking your identity.

Haven't we all outgrown Pascal's wager? More people believe in gods other
than the one you beleive in. Which of the 10,000 gods we've worshipped
throughout history is the right one? The odds would suggest you've chosen
the wrong one.
Do you really want to take that chance? You'd better worship them all.
Allah, Ganesh, Zeus, Thor, Krishna, and David Koresh are all waiting on
your response.

There's been so much chatter about FOOD that we're now into the common but
inappropriate after-dinner conversation.

Take a chance on what? It's not taking a chance at all. I'll ask you the
same type of question? When you lose a tooth do you want to take a chance
of not putting it under your pillow for the tooth fairy. One is as likely
as the other.
