Topic: Do you KNOW what happens to you after you die?

I believe that everyone goes to either Heaven or hell when they die. I came to this belief by examining the Bible. I determined that many things in it have been verified as historically accurate. I have also searched for anything that could have possibly been proven historically inaccurate, and found nothing. Therefore, if everything I have discovered in it can be sensibly determined as accurate, and nothing could be found and determined to be inaccurate, I can conclude that all of it is accurate. With that being said, it is my belief that what the Bible says about death is accurate and one determines which place they go to when they die according to who they live their life for.
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
It always amazes me how atheists/agnostics (I am one too) spend so much time whining about how theists treat them like crap for their beliefs or lack there of... Yet so many do that very same thing to others.
I guess they have become what they hate...
Look up, something just went over your head.
No, not really. I know where the quote comes from. I addressed why you used it.
I used it because the OP asked if anyone KNEW and hub wrote about what he BELIEVED. It in no way answered or addressed the OP question. Hub brought his religious beliefs into a thread requesting knowledge, i.e. provable facts. It's my right to address that.
But that aside, his logic is pretty Amusing. He somehow determines that there are no historical inaccuracies in the bible, so concludes that it must be entirely accurate. ?
Additionally, atheists/agnostics should not take absolutest or mocking positions regarding the existence of a supreme being. Religion however is an entirely different animal, and I find no difference in mocking the bible when it is characterized as a factual document than in mocking someone who believes interdimensional aliens built the pyramids.
If you are not willing to respect (not embrace,, not endorse but simply respect) the beliefs of others you have absolutely no standing whatsoever to demand others respect yours.
You did not mock the bible. You called the man stupid for his beliefs and belittled him. His beliefs are his choice just as yours are your choice.
