Jehovah/Jesus
If you are real and require that all who do not believe in you (or know you) go to hell, please help me belive in you (or know you).

Such a hard thing to do...when you weren't born being taught that way...my neighbor and I just had a discussion about this not ten minutes ago.
I wish you luck in this and we can talk about it anytime you want. What do you currently believe?
What are your doubts?

"What do you currently believe?"
"Nothing, really. Certainly nothing sane. I managed to grow up in a household where the only discussion of religion was that organized religion is bad and Jesus of Nazarith had some good ideas (including separation of church and state {Rendur unto Caesar...})." I've managed to develope a philosophy called Primism that is basicly agnostic/atheistic in nature. Most people would view it as weird--it is a influenced by some of the ideas of Gotama Siddhartha and Isaac Asimov.
"What are your doubts?"
Talking to Justin the Preacher (U195767) has made me doubt whether reason is sufficient to understand the universe and whether humans can redeem themselves from teir failings (a basic idea of Primism) or whether they are too flawed to do so without outside help.
