Yeah, I guess if God was something you could prove then a lot more people would believe in him. |

People have tried, there are a load of very convincing logical arguements around there. Unfortunately, you are unable to argue them. |

I suspect if the existence of God could be proved, everyone would believe in him. |

There would be a select few still not believing, I would say. |

How stupid would you have to be to condemn yourself to eternal torment if it was a certainty that that was coming if you didn't believe in him? |

Mmm... This has been on Topic for 18 Pages....
:P, because there are conflicting accounts of what he wants. And come on, Pre Renaisance was hardly crime free, even though everyone believed. Face it, when a kid steals from a cookie jar he isn't going to be thinking about Divine Retribution. |

I'm assuming that if it's a certainty that he exists, then what he wants can be worked out from that. If it can't, chances are he doesn't care. You're right, a kid won't be thinking about it. But what about an adult? An adult stealing from a bank, perhaps, who knows with absolute certainty that he will suffer an eternity's torment because of it? |

If everybody believed in God, there would still be arguments over what happens if you die, and what sin exactly was, etc etc etc. |

I'm not talking about if everyone believed in god. If it is a certainty he exists, then you would believe in him in the same way you believe in food. |

Sentynel... game.... If everyone believed in god will it be a better world? No, a more violent one. The Crusades and Jihad comes to mind.. |

If everyone worships the same god because it is a certainty he exists, you don't get crusades, because there's nobody to crusade against. |
