but if death frightens you because you don't believe in an afterlife/God/whatever...er, why not decide to believe in one?

Therefore, what value is there in opting to not believe in one? When you die, if you're right, you don't even get the satisfaction of knowing it.

The people who follow cults only do it to be accepted, many don't actually believe in what they are being taught but follow it because, for once, they do belong somewhere. Also these people are normally following a certain person rather then a God. This person represents something to them, gave them meaning and they don't let go of it. People who follow cults are normally lost people, people who havent made up there mind on what they believe in, or for whatever reason, what they did believe is has been shaken up. They didn't just decide to become part of the cult to make them feel better from the get go, there needed to be something driving them there out of there own control.

Thankfully you have provided the perfect example of why people can't stop believing in something was its set in there. You take those men who believe themselves to be God. You said yourself they can not be convinced otherwise, no matter what evidence is put forward. Exactly! They can't change there mind. They have lived for how many years and there brains have come to the conclusion that They Are God, Jesus, whatever. Now, even with only faith to guide them, thats all they can believe because they believe it fully.

Your too biased in your own logic and reason to even see the other standpoint. Heck the way your wording it all seems to me to have huge flaws in it.

Please provide an example after throwing a statement out that... without an example, on its own it really doesn't seem to have a justification. It will help me follow your arguments, and help everyone understand/find you credible, if only you would justify your statements.

The value is Humans do good and do things themselves. We aren't puppets of anyones will.

You can't choose to believe in something

You can't just Suddenly choose to believe in something without a reason when you have already chosen what you believe in

Thanks to posts by certain individuals, this thread gets the official duck of disapproval.

Actually AM I disagree. I will agree that there has to be a reason, just that it does not have to be logical. Religion and faith are often driven on feeling and not logic.
