Ignosticism (Prove to me there is a God)

[Ice]

DC: following the logic of Pascals wager still leaves you with the question wich particular religion is in the right.

That question is impossible to answer, until the time it is revealed.

It all boils down to what you believe, what you finding fitting, and which one appeals to you.

If it were a matter only of your personal faith, that would be fine. But almost all modern religions feel it necessary to involve themselves in other people's morals and indeed politics.

Thus the question is entirely valid, and requires an answer. If Rupert's god tells me I should despise homosexuals, but Fred's god tells me I should cuddle one on a daily basis, and both try to influence my political representative, how do I know which is right? Which is my moral compass?

@ Don, I don't contend that there are many gods but that mankind has conceived of many gods and spirits. Most of these impose different requirements on the believer. The "logical" position that it is better/safer to believe in a god as an insurance policy is fallacious, since most of them demand one does something to earn the reward. If one does the wrong thing, even for the right reasons, many of these jealous gods (yours being a prime example, tolerating none but he) visit eternal punishment.

Frankly, I don't know why tree spirits fell out of vogue. IIRC they were really hot chicks with strategically placed leaves (a forest being kinda like a Beirut's Ultimate Fantasy Babe thread) and you can see trees.
