being RIGHT.

OT**** Sorry for the noise totally OT, but I just can't help but react to this one:
"have you ever considered the consequences if you are wrong?"
One just cannot sincerely choose to believe, and even less because it appears to be a "good investment in the future"?

**OT**

Let's not make veiled threats to non-believers. This is the AMAT thread.

FWIW, I went to Catholic School for 16 years(including college), and now consider myself Buddhist. As long as I lead a good life looking out for my fellow man, I have NOTHING to worry about, regardless of my belief, or lack thereof, in a Supreme Creator.

Hi, Bill, I don't mind your questioning of my non-believing.
Same question had been asked many times before. No matter
how many times I revisit this question, I just have a
hard time deciding "WHO".

I was in a Christian Middle School and studied 6 years of
Bible (part of the curriculum). I decided to leave the
religion after I read a book on the relation of "Christian
and China". It was so 'abstract, remote' and I couldn't
handle it.

OTOT: Just relearning my Chinese. All these years, I
never noticed the word "REASON" of Chinese has the
character "KING" embedded. Check with your Chinese friend.
It's very interesting.

This implies only "KING's word" is "REASON".

I knew it's in our gene (culture).
