I think the question is rather unspecific since you haven't defined god. As well, the way the question is asked leaves no correct answer.... atheists don't believe in hell! I don't think I need to mention the highly biased description of the possible choices either.

Edit: I think you need to make your avatar a little smaller.

Okay fine ill specify...Do you believe that when you die you will either go to heaven or hell. As for the no answer i just wanted to have some fun with that

Hmm, rather interesting question. However, your making the same mistake. Heaven and hell, arise from the same belief system. So for us who do not follow this belief system, all we can do is check the box that says non applicable(NA).

A better way of stating the question would be simply ask:"What do you think happens after you die?" although that isn't the ideal question by any stretch of the imagination. Personally, I'm not sure if life/death have any meaning at all so its difficult to answer this question.

the only way you could tell if there is no God is if you were all-knowing. But being all-knowing is a supernatural quality that could only be given to you by a God...

oh hey, here's another good argument

the only way you could tell if there is God is if you were all-knowing. But being all-knowing is a supernatural quality...

the statement that you forgot to define "god" remains. What if I was to believe in Flying Spagetti Monster?

I believe in God, but i do not believe in religion. I dont believe in being told how i should "worship" my "God". Oh, and i dont beleive in teh Flying Spagetti Monster, only because Spagetti is manmade. Now if it was Flying Tree Monster, maybe.

perhaps the spagetti was made in image of the Flying Spagetti Monster?

All hail the great Spagetti Monster! The only real problem with the Spagetti Monster is that the name is way too hard to spell.

You never can prove a negative, therefore proving that god does not exist is rather difficult. However, it is possible to prove that god isn't needed to explain why things work a certain way in this universe. As well, we can show that the existance of god, as he is described in certain religions, is doubtful.

By the way, whoever changed the poll, its "sinned" not "sined" unless your making some weird math reference that I'm just not getting. Laughing

Perhaps this is a dumb poll...

[opinion]regligion is for suckers, and is used mainly as a means of control[/opinion] Although the control bit is rather truthful...

religion is not stupid and you don't have to be all knowing to believe in god if you have even heard of all the things going on around the world involving god.

A personal religion is fine, but unfortunately history has shown many times that religion also leads to powerful discrimination.

The important part is to be respectful. No supernatural authority required.
