How hard would THIS be to understand?...
If it's proven there IS indeed a God, what makes you think it will be a God that can only be assigned to one earthly religion?...
And why, exactly, would it be harder for, say, a Christian to start following Allah than it would be for an athiest?...Or (again), are you saying that athiests are more likely to already be living by Allah's word than Christians?...
And are "believers" the only ones who were doing "naughty" things that God witnessed, is that what you're trying to say?...That Athiests wouldn't ALSO say "Oh, ****" when thinking of all the 'naughty' things THEY'VE been doing that God has been witnessing?
Put some real thought into your next response, please lol...

I don't have to unlearn my entire life.
easier.
though put.
(edit) I only know of Earthly religions. do you have another?
The Earthly religions i know of don't practice the same way, hence the discord in the world on occasion.
Edit: Though i'd hope it was the baptist one as i go there on Sundays and the book is easier to read.

I agree, generally. And Spiff's "so what" question was cosmic in it's ultimate-anti-existensial way. But they don't call him "Spaceman" for nuthin.
And I was surprised at the degree of unawareness most posters had of this old bromide brought forth by TJ. In one slight variation or another, it's been an old standard for PHIL 101 classes from the 50's on, and grist for message board mills ever since the glowing filaments of the first tubes lit the firmament of the web with their golden hue.
More interestingly, I was contemplating that very movie line, TB (really!), as well as others like "it's your planet, monkey boy" and "anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears right about now", or maybe "some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little. But how many people lose their faith because Heaven showed them too much?"
On, I confess, a typically judgmental note, I miss the innocence born of blessed ignorance that is lost on this road to perdition we call the tailgate. It is not always spiritually helpful to know of some people's...uh..."thinking"....on these matters. Such baleful knowledge can cast even the gentlest and most benign of souls into foul, moody pits of despair. I moan in the darkness.
Oh, wait....Philly lost!!! It's all good.
