I believe that there's a god, but I think that all religions point to heaven, I think every religion is a path to heaven. Is there a name for this belief system.
Idiocy.
[QUOTE=Cypher_09;41883012]Idiocy.[/QUOTE] Atheism is idiocy. I belive in God just in case, if he's not real, he's not real. I've got nothing to lose by believing in a God.
Universalism?

No I don't think so.. I guess there could be some underlying fundamental truth about all religiousness which would connect them all, same "heaven" and so forth, but it would require too much both academically and morally wise logical reasoning for me to ever spew out in one sitting.

[QUOTE=DualWeild;41883054]I belive in God just in case[/QUOTE] Oh my God lol This is something a kid says. If you choose to "believe" in something[I] just in case[/I], you don't believe in shit. Having a belief just because you're scared of what happens if you don't isn't a real faith.

Just call it church of the flying spaghetti monster.
There is no name for all religions lead to heaven. The "I've got nothing to lose by believing in God" part is called Fallibilism [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallibilism[/url] which states that even if the views held by certain humans are incorrect, they can still be justified in holding them. Don't bother calling any religions stupid or idiotic, it will get you nowhere.

If God knows everything then he knows you're lying if you "believe" in him just because you have nothing to lose.

It's not an atheists business to tell me not to have one. I have a simple question, if you cannot provide a reasonable answer or reply. Do not reply at all. This is not meant to be an "atheism vs religion" thread, moron.
i believe in god because he was there to hold my hand and kiss my neck when i scraped my knee

Religion is an organization built around faith. You're asking if there's a name for your faith. And here's the kicker, having "faith" in something out of fear is not faith.

I just don't think that Amy religion really captures the full picture of our god.

And its called Religious pluralism, to believe all religions lead to god. Not really a religion, more of an attitude about religion.

[QUOTE=DualWeild;41883173]I suppose I am. Thanks for clarifying. So is there a name for my faith?[/QUOTE] Its not a faith. If the only reason you have a belief system is because you have nothing to lose, or are afraid of the repercussions of being wrong, then you do not have a faith. That's frankly an insulting way to think.

Does Satanism point to heaven too?
I believe in the world and universe around me. Nothing more and nothing less. We are a mere collection of our memories and interpretations of our lives. Together we find meaning where meaning was never to be. Just live your life and be happy. Whatever you believe doesn't need a name, so long as you believe in it.
[QUOTE=DualWeild;41883184]I suppose you're an atheist.[/QUOTE] Why do you keep jumping to this conclusion about people? They say something about how your reasons to believe in a god are flawed and suddenly they're an atheist?
I don't give a fuck what makes you happy, and who gives a fuck if I'm an atheist. The reason you annoy me so much is because you use that "what if" argument.
