Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God." KJV
I for one, would rather take a chance on believing in this man called Jesus...I mean, really, what could it hurt? If I believe in him and he really doesn't exist, then no harm done. But, if I choose not to believe in him and he turns out to be real, well, then there would be a great deal to lose.
I eagerly anticipate the day when my maker and I meet face to face.
sure buddy, just let me set up some post hypnotic suggestions
relax and just listen
When you see him...ask him why my man parts couldn't have been bigger
Btw I envy your blind faith

Mind cannot be created from matter. Mind creates the matter. something created everything we perceive to be "real." Some kind of universal mind. "god" is just a name that people have attached to the "something" out there. Religion is incorrect in my opinion to most extents. all you need is to believe for yourself.

That sounds very superficial and I don't know what you're basing this off of. More assumptions I suppose. I can claim it is not a fact just more easily as you can claim it is. If someone disagrees with your assumptions, it doesn't automatically mean they're being 'neg.' I'm sure God wouldn't approve of this prejudice.
The Bible says God is love. I assume and therefore believe this is true. If your so sure of what God would approve I assume you believe in God. If you believe in God then you should want to know what he has to say to you, right ?
In logic an assumption is a proposition that is taken for granted, as if it were true based upon presupposition without preponderance of the facts.
Assumptions, and blind conviction in those assumptions, are dangerous.
