What makes some people so sure their beliefs are true and real?

[Sakura Michiko]

*I am not talking about everyone from these groups and I'm not saying everyone should be like me and I'm not making fun of people beliefs**I met all types of people from christians,atheist, ect. that just assume that they are right about something existing or not existing. For example I might see a christian person saying an atheist is going to hell for not believing in yahweh but the christian swears up and down that other religions are a lie or an atheist may say a Christians are stupid for thinking yahweh is real because the atheist feels that it is fake.At the end of the day we really don't know and some people are just going off assumptions.Like if someone if talking to me about this stuff I ask them how are they so certain that they are correct.I often hear"Because*insert belief* is stupid and that is why I'm correct" or"Because the bible say*insert something from the bible". I even ask some of these people how would they feel if they are wrong.Some still say they are right and others say they aren't sure.I really don't like to categorize myself as anything but if I had to categorize myself I would say I'm pan-agnostic( belief that all thing could or could not be god(s)...). I often get told stupid thinks like:
"You're atheist"
"You're scared and confused"
"You're pantheist"
"You're going to hell"
Like if I was atheist I wouldn't believe in the possibility of deities possible being real or not. I have nothing to be afraid or confused of and pantheist is the belief that everything is god.If hell is real than whatever I'm not afraid<I told someone that and they though I worshiped satan...
Have you met people who automatically think their belief is the right one?

Lol my mother is the worst example for that ....
Even if jesus himself came to earth to tell her nothing in the bible is real , she would still believe that book !

Experiencing the feeling feeling of the holy spirit is different
I don't argue the specifics of a book altered by human mistranslation and manipulation.
I just love Jesus and let people do whatever

That is bad... :/ .I know people who believe in the bible because they say they are afraid to go to hell... or "question god"...

What if the "holy spirit" is a placebo?

If you know hell is real and you say you aren't afraid you are either lying to yourself or just don't understand it.

I said IF hell is real

 

[Black Mamba]

I am an atheist and I am right, because I wrote down "god does not exist" on a piece of paper therefore it must be true

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

I said IF hell is real

So if hell is real you wouldn't be scared of it?

 

[Gitch]

So if hell is real you wouldn't be scared of it?

Would you live all your life in fear of going to hell even if you dont know if its real or fake ?

No I wouldn't be afraid if it was real.

So basically this is a thread to make fun of religion.

No. I would have been saying religion is bs and who ever believes something is stupid.Also I don't think being atheist is a religion.... I'm just wondering what make some people so sure they are right about what they believe it. I re-edited my post saying I'm not making fun of people's belief.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

No I wouldn't be afraid if it was real.

I bet you'd be afraid of a gun let alone hell.

Would you live all your life in fear of going to hell even if you dont know if its real or fake ?

That's not what I said but the concept of hell is terrifying.

What does a gun have to do with hell? If you're trying to frighten me it isn't working. I'll rather be afraid of a person over a gun because a gun can't shoot itself.

Hell is eternal - unmatched pain. A gun is quick and easy.

Saying the idea of hell is not to be scared of is arrogant and ignorant.

Most religious people are this way(And a lot of non religious people). They never answer the age old question, "Why do you believe in your deity, but not any other deity?".

Guns aren't always quick and easy. Some people might take a while to die from a gun shot. Some people aren't afraid of the idea of death.That's don't make them "arrogant and ignorant". How do you know if hell is unmatched pain? Did you go there?

I'm talking about the way it's portrayed. You're not very bright :lol

Because I expressed an opinion,asked a question and I didn't make an assumption that deems me "not bright"...yea...no. You are pretty much doing exactly what my post is about

 

[OG sama]

I'm a little like that, I believe with out a doubt Jesus is coming back. I mean just because you don't see him doesn't mean he doesn't exist, you gotta have faith.
