If you became convinced God existed, would you be willing to give your life to Him? Would you be willing to be a witness for Him?
Be a little more specific. Giving your life to some means dedicating your life for His work. I was thinking of this question earlier today; Do atheist believe in Black Magic?
The word witness in greek is for all intensive purposes, martyr. Which means to give your life up to and included death for the thing you are a witness to.
A wise man once told me: "You're not a man until you believe in something and fight for it." So it kinda goes with the territory. It doesn't really matter whether it's belief in God, abstract concepts like human rights, or legalization of mar1juana. You don't really believe in it unless you're willing to stand by it.
I wasn't quite aware as to the enormity of the question. I thought it is simple yet thought provoking.
ehh, i think it depends on the Atheist. Í'm a atheist and I do not believe in black magic, but i cannot speak for other people. I do not think that all atheist believe anything. Back to the original question. If I believed there was a god. And I was 100% sure what he wants, then ofcourse I would give my life for him. I mean He judges what happens to me after I die, so ofcourse i would try to please him. But i have to be 100% sure it is what he wants, and that he is the only deity (atleast when it comes to things i do not want to do). So i have to ahd a talk with him.
This is sort of a no brainer here. however- I don't think most people have 100 percent faith. Even many religious types must have doubts sometimes.
"For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don`t believe, no proof is possible." -Stuart Chase This about sums it up for me.
I can see where this is going: A: What price? B: If you have to ask, then you can't pay. or A: What price? B: Suspension of Disbelief. Yes, it's alot, but the answer's well worth the price.
I don't get it. Why would I, an insignificant human being, would ever need to die for a being who is, by definition, omnipotent and omnipresent? That would be like asking the bacteria in my intestines to "die" for me...
First thought: What manner of God? Second thought: My God? Yes. Third thought: Some "you must come to my house to pray, god? No.
Yeah, this isn't really specific enough. Just knowing there's a god isn't enough. Were it the Christian god described in the New Testament, then I'd be willing knowing that this isn't the only life I get. It's the afterlife part of it that is the deal breaker. But just because there's a god doesn't mean there's an afterlife. In that situation, I'd be thankful for the life I'd been given but I sure as hell wouldn't give it up for him. I don't subscribe to the theory of, "I made you, so you should die if it's what I please."
