Well, I'm not really saying it's a waste of time as much as I'm saying "We don't know."

And if you think about it... we don't. Look at ALL the various religions.

If a god is to get pissed at agnostics, then he will be pissed at Buddhists as well. Is that fair to them? Is it wrong to sit there and say to Buddhists, "Your religion is wrong. You don't worship my god, so you're gonna go to hell"?

You have a plethora of beliefs and religions, each with a completely different "Theme", I guess you'd call it... but the underlying ideas are the same: be kind to others.

If there was a god, there's no way he could be pissed at people for thinking about this. We are human. If there was a god.. he created us. He created our free will. Why would we get punished for it?

So basically you're put on this earth with various religions left and right, and if you don't pick the right one, you're fucked?

If that's how god works... then I don't want to be a part of him!

Personally, I'm aware about all these choices, and I've looked into various religions... I believe that there's *something*, whether or not it's an actual being is beyond me. If I get punished for my choices, then god will get my middle finger.

But I certainly don't believe in the stupid rules that they set.. such as "If you have sex before marriage you're committing a sin." Please.. why would I get punished for something natural? It's just a ridiculous form of control.
