Will God accept you if you renounce religion?

We know nothing. The true nature of "life, the universe, and everything" is completely beyond our understanding. We try and cope with it by inventing gods or by using scientific methods to understand some tiny part of the puzzle. But honestly, it's all just a way of trying to comprehend something that is actually incomprehensible to us.
Not that I'm saying it's a pointless exercise.....far from it!

Not all religious folk are like this. I have heard many debates where theists bring 'supposed' evidence to the table.
Your burden of proof point is also well illustrated in this thread where people categorically deny the existence of God but with zero evidence!
I haven't stated any of my beliefs in this thread so not sure why you are calling me deluded.
I'm assuming you have positive evidence to suggest that hell doesn't exist?
Aliens are more believable than any god though, Just like i believe the universe is teaming with other civilisations, it's to vast not to believe.
How is that any different to believing in God then? You have no proof whatsoever that aliens exist yet reject the notion of a God, which for me sounds much more plausible.
Just how is believing aliens more believable than believing in God? I'm curious to know.
I want you to understand that this statement doesnt make me personally, A) Annoyed or B) Worried about my possible future in the afterlife.
It makes me pity you, as you my friend appear to be living a life that is completely restricted by ideas and books from a very long time ago.
It is clear that you have been indoctrinated into this belief and that you will not accept the views of someone else but just blindly argue them.
You should also understand that I believe your quality of life would improve if you were not so restricted in your mind and that I would remind you that you only have ONE life.
Trust me, I live everyday not necessarily one iota about the afterlife and am completely at peace with it amounting to nothing but darkness. Anything else is of course a bonus but i don't need to believe in anything, I'd much rather concentrate and live in the now.
If your God is as you say he is and created the world and all of us to think like we quite clearly are, then providing you live within society as a good person i'm sure he would forgive you of your disbelief and be able to see the point of view you took as being right for you.
In closing, You only live once. Why restrict your life to one of strict rules of belief and religion when you can be free in your thoughts and live your life to the full.
Thats just me trying to explain what i see to be the typical view point of a Atheist Or Non believer
Aside from the other arguement which that i just think its a crock of &$&$
Gnostic atheism is bizarre to me, I'm an agnostic atheist.
Because an Alien would be no extra special significance.
Given that we already exist in this universe full of planets.
An Alien is only an Alien to us.
Its about perspective.
A God is something all seeing and knowing that creates life.
If you cant see that. I'm worried for you.

Because maybe just there is a percentage however low that we may have contact one day with other beings in the universe, SETI may come close in the next 50 years who knows, where are the clues for God, none there isn't any apart from made up man story's.

Where are the clues of Aliens? Can you not see the hypocrisy in your statements?

del
If you want a clue then we all are one.
You seem full of the human races self importance.
Clearly he is incapable of contemplating any arguement that threatens his belief.
So probably quite a lot, as he seems to be effectively a walking robot....

Not really what i asked.
We exist, living proof that life can happen under certain chemistry, so why not elsewhere in the universe.

So you're just making assumptions based off how own prejudices?
I'm quite satisfied in my life, but thanks for the concern nonetheless.
Incapable of contemplating arguments that threaten my belief? I beg to differ. Why would I study philosophy if I'm a bigot?
As for being a walking robot, well no, I'm not. I could go out and commit all sorts of sins tonight and God would never take my free-will away. I just simply choose not to walk down that path and follow the path of the Lord. That does not make me a robot. If it does, then are you too not one for following societies rules?
