Quote from: "Billy Bob Jenkins"I believe in God because I don't want to go to Hell. What could be more logical than that?
Logic is fine however the precepts you are basing it on God and Hell are unfounded so your logic, while technically accurate, is useless. Logic is a tool, not an end in itself.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

I agree Thumpalumpadump. Logic is very limited. Some logic can even cost you your immortal soul. Do you know how many times the word logic appears in the KJV1611? You guessed it: none!

Billy Bob Jenkins, since you like logic so much, tell me logically why would the "allmighty and allmercyfull god" send you to hell for not believing in his existence?
