[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 5838882, member: 562352"] I don't believe God intervenes, which makes things like prayer and other symbolic guestures useless. The more I learn, the more my views tend to look like Deists...but I don't know where to go to get accurate research on where that really is. If God exists, we can only speculate on his demeanor. I am guessing believing for any reason is better than no belief at all. That is how it all "fits" in my mind. I do understand there is some degree of irrationality here....but I am also betting on an AIG rebound in 3rd qtr 09. If you can make a ton of money betting on irrationality, why can't you get to heaven? General belief in the existence. I wouldn't know where to begin to base an argument for speculation in a particular religion. This....regardless of my religious affiliation. Burial in a cement box interrupts the circle of life....haven't these people ever seen the Lion King? [/QUOTE]
