sipsake - which is A, which is B?
I'd be interested to hear what you have to say; my basic argument has always been that it's very difficult to choose what you believe (whichever way you go); but it's easy to choose your actions. An atheist can decide to behave in a good/etc way; and I just wonder if it is actions or beliefs that count more. I've had so many discussions which end up as 'if you don't believe, you go to hell' and just wondered if it's really a good thing that the prospect of hell be used as a motivation for good behaviour.
