A Savage’s question of me

A Savage’s question of me

The question was what religion should I follow as she’s confused about what to believe, and she keeps quote Pascal’s wager to me but I’ll tell you what’s worse, she probably hasn’t even heard of Pascal’s wager.

What is Pascal’s wager?

Well Pascal’s wager is a sort of theists attempt to scare people, mainly atheists, into believing their ludicrous assumptions (my personal opinion) that there is a god that is all knowledgeable, powerful etc. It goes like this if you die the theist and there isn’t anything on the other side so you could just fade away into oblivion, but if God is real he will go to heaven and everyone else including atheists will go to hell.

But that primitive concept is fundamentally flawed as how many other religions claim to be accurate and correct so how are you supposed to determine which one true?

I answer;

I believe that you should find your own way of finding what is worthy of your belief, you can chose to be like grandma and believe in a little book as it is apparently the word of God, despite the inconsistencies from reality, or you could choose a different religion there is many, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism, Judaism and there is many more the majority of the religions that I have stated above are monotheistic which means as it says mono-one, theist- is a person that has a belief in God(s), the only exceptions to that are Hinduism (which are people that believe in multiple Gods like the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians ect.) and Buddhism (is a little bit like an atheism but with rules of how to live your life and an eternal life/enlightenment) . But then there are atheists people with no belief in a God without heaven (the carrot) or hell (the stick) there are no meeting regular points for an atheist like a church/mosque or a daily routine.

But if you’d like my advice you should search for a religion which you agree with the fundaments of the religion Then probe into the religion; this means taking a look around, you can actually go to the places of worship or by searching it on the internet, perhaps even questioning others who participate. keep asking questions but when /if you do find one that shares all of those perspectives with you then you have found the correct religion for you, I’m still searching for a religion which vales the truth as I am yet to find; one which can back it up with evidence.
