In your opinion, how important is believing what can not be verified with facts?

When it comes to living a good so called normal life, how important is it to believe what we are told such as going to hell for misconduct or reaping what one sow?

    It is highly important not to believe in nonsense.

    How many times do you need to ask this?

    Some things take more than one lifetime to learn. You might want to learn from your mistakes, but mistakes often kill people. For instance a tomato is good food, but the rest of the plant is poisonous. You can verify that for yourself, but you won't be able to appreciate the results.

    There are other things that are proved by documentary evidence, such as "hell". Any dictionary will tell you that hell is a hole is a grave; everybody goes there, good or bad, and only one person has ever come back to tell us anything about it. That is an example where you should check the sources to be sure you have correct information.

    BTW It's enough to ask once. But thanks for the extra points.

    Make up your own mind. We believe in things every day that we don't fully understand... if you didn't believe things that you don't understand, you'd never put a cup of coffee in a microwave oven. You'd never fly on an airplane or make a telephone call. There are many mysteries in this world that we don't understand, and yet we believe them all the time.

    It's makes much more sense that the order & beauty of this world came from one creator, rather than from a rock, ape, mass of goo or a mysterious "Big Bang."

    The latter sounds more like fiction or fairly tale, to me.

    It's only important to those who believe in that nonsense. To me it's laughable.

    To the fools who think evolution is debatable, wake up!
