indeed. atheism = christianity. i don't know why people choose to be
atheist or why they choose to be christian, but either way there's no 100%
truth to either group being right as far as science is concerned. same
with hell....hell wasn't even spoken of in the old testament and all of a
sudden in the new testament there was all this talk of it. i'm pretty sold
that whoever wrote the new testament was talking out of their asses, and if
they weren't, i want some proof of it! until then, i'm agnostic. by the
way, i think it's pretty fucking unfair to say that the reason i'm agnostic
is so i can decide all of a sudden when i'm on my deathbed that i need to
repent and give myself to the lord. and even if that has something to do
with it and i'm sure subconsciously it does, if i do repent hopefully i
will have followed my morals so that when i repent i'm not gonna die evil
and unaccepted by god.
