b) but if there is a god, then i'm as a believer should have a very slight, if not more, chance to go to a place called heaven.
so for aethist the chance are they either go to full stop, or.. hell i'm afraid
but for believer the chance are either full stop, hell or heaven. thats the possibility. a possibility that cannot be proved, yet cannot be disproved.
wrong.
you only think that because you have never really looked.
if you look at where the ideas come from in the first place, you will understand.
and when you understand you will no longer have a reason to believe.
and that is the reason you do not look.
also i will remind you that the burden of proof is on the one making the claim, so it needs to be proven, and does NOT need to be disproven.
not until some1 comes up with a valid reason for believing which is not based on emotion.
which in the history of humankind has not happened yet.
the truth is that everything you believe ammounts to nothing more then severely distorted versions of
stories that came from oral traditions, and had absolutely no literal meaning whatsoever.
the stories you read in the bible are merely a symbolic story in which all actors are antrapamorphised
because that is the best way to preserve the intended meaning of the story in an oral tradition.
what was it about? it was quite simply a description of the world these people lived in.
the story of jesus is a symbolic story ment to teach people about the behavior of the sun
so they would know when to sow and when to harvest etc.
lets break it down shall we:
-born on christmas:
december 21st/25th marks the winter solstice, and people experience the shortest
periods of daylight in the year, the vegetation is dormant and the land looks dead.
during solstice the sun no longer shifts its position over the horizon like it does the rest of the year
and for 3 days it is unmoving. the sun is dead, untill the end of solstice when the days grow longer
and he sun once more moves across the horizon.
-born of a virgin:
during this period in december the sun will come up between the legs of constellation virgo.
-the 3 kings
actually the belt of orion, which at christmas rizes with its 3 stars aligned virtically.
-the guiding star
this is sirius, which is very bright and comes up before orion's belt, giving us the 3 kings following the star towards the sun.

there is no excuse for opinion when knowledge is attainable.
