I'm open minded and agnostic but am taking pascal's approach as a hedge. If you believe you lose nothing, if you don't then you stand to lose a lot. Is the risk worth the reward ? That is your decision as I could care less.

I'm always amazed that people still play the pascal card. Considering the myriad of 'believe this and be saved' options presented in this world, it takes about 3 seconds of thought to realize that PW is nothing but a cute little conversation piece which withstands no logical scrutiny. Oh well. JB
faith is a mind game, nothing more nothing less... there's nothing to lose in ignoring faith altogether, and the faithful
I suppose that depends what you have faith in. I have faith in my family, but that sometimes is in spite of their actions
of course, and you should also have / keep faith in yourself... still a mind game though... helps keep doubts etc at bay, for a while...
This is typical characteristics of a "false teacher" that Jesus Christ himself had warned against. You have deviated so far from His teachings that you don't even know you're spreading Satan's message.
I'm not teaching anyone. You can believe whatever you want and you won't catch me preaching that you should be a holy roller in order to be saved.
