Religious people aren't weak people. They are trying to juggle two goals in their life.

I didn't mean that all religious people are weak. I believe they just waste their efforts trying to follow a specific doctrine.

It’s actually more stressful because there is more on our plate then with non believers.

I don't think so. I think me, the "non believers" have a harder time. You, and most people in the world, are confident that you're the ones going to heaven, no? I have to deal with people telling me how I am banished to hell for the rest of eternity because I don't believe what they do. It's really fun to have people tell you that you're going to hell because you neglect to do one thing that some murderers do. They're saved, I'm not. That's messed up. I'm not a bad person by any means. Some of the best people I know also do not believe in a God, they do acts for their common man out of pure compassion.

Through an unproven fact… a theory.

Catholicism must also be a theory because it has faults. I don't think the church accepted the fact (officially) that our solar system is heliocentric until the 1980's. The Church's beliefs are theoris as well. They have not been proven, and will not until the Judgement Day under Christian belief, so all religious beliefs must also be a theory since we cannot fully prove or disprove them.

Fact

People beleve blindly without facts. Even when the doctrine is untrue. If you believe the Bible is the word of God (making an enthemyme here), is the Torah not? People believe that. Therefore, then they believe something that is wrong, right? Fact helps back up a theory.

This is how I look at things. If you believe in God and live a good life, that is great. If you don’t believe in God and live a good life, that is great. Just as long as you a good person (not a menace to society), I’m happy for you. I’m not going to throw my beliefs on you.

But Joeiss said that even if I were a good person, if I did not believe in Jesus, I would be banned from the gates of heaven. Is that right? Should I not get the same "holy destination" as people who were mass murderers and repented? I haven't hurt anyone. I don't deserve hell. If this is how it is, I'd rather be a good man and burn in the firey pits of hell that be an evil man who repents and has eternal life.

As for Bond...

The creation stories aren't truth, but simple stories to explain how we came to be.

But Joeiss said, and I quote:

Do I see an argument?
