"Life after death is a must, even majore evolutionists know that their theory is false, they use it as comfort."
Statements like these are what piss me off. How do you know that? And why would evolutionists simply lie to the world about their beliefs. That's stupid.
"Also, just look at what we are. Being a programmer made this aspect more apparent to me. Take a Java workspace for example. When I make a program, it's usually pretty simplistic, 30-40 lines of code but behold, it works! It exists not because of chance, but only because I created it. If I keep this workspace open for 1 trillion years and did not touch it, do you know what would happen? Nothing. I wouldn't come back to see that a very complicated and detailed program wrote its self just by pure chance. It just would not happen."
Not trying to bash you but this isn't a very good arguement. Your program written in java was written within the computational constraints of a computer. There is, like you said, absolutely no way that your 40 lines of code could begin to generate new code. But the universe is subject to very different laws and rules than a computer so comparing the two really doesn't make sense.
I, too, lean toward agnosticism but I believe in a lot of Buddhist teachings simply because they make sense to me. And the teachings to which I refer are really more like the basic rules for living a good life as outlined by most major world religions. I do not, however, believe in the specifics such as heaven and hell, god, the bible, etc. Damn this is hard to explain... what I really mean is that I think most major religions outline a basic set of moral and ethical codes which make sense to me and in my eyes are essential to being a kind and good person.

In my opinion there is really only one right decision here.. and that's to choose the path of "life = nothingness" simply because there is no proof as to the other path. Tell me what happens if you believe in all that your entire life and then you get to the end and nothing happens... you've spent your entire life hoping and expecting something profound to happen. You expect to see and meet god and to understand his plan but you don't. Then how would you feel. Like people have said, the reason god exists in your life is to give meaning to your life. You simply choose this path because it is most comforting... honestly who wants to believe that "life = nothingness." The other choice is just so enticing. But like I said, there is no proof so believing in god is essentially a gamble.

im not saying that the christian way is the only way. If you wont to be athiest or agnostic thats your business. All i am saying is that either way could end up being pointless. Atleast the way of believing in God there is a chance it isn't.

I would rather take into account that I know what I know, and what I don't know, not only dosen't bother me, but dosen't have such a profound impact on my life, I dedicate myself to believing wholeheartdly in something that is wrong.That would mean I block out reality as it is and become completely self absorbed in my own ideas, thoughts, beliefs,that include only my own vision and affects my own warped judgement on what really is. This is all God lovers are about, once you've seen one you've seen them all.
