The Beauty of Doubt

I don't have the need nor want to have a debate in this issue.

The one thing that comes to my mind is this.

What if there is a God and his rule is that if you deny him, then he will do the same.
For me it's all about evidence really, and faith is defined as belief in something for which there is not evidence of. It's not that I'm actively or angrily denying that God is real, there's just no reason (evidence) for me to believe that he exists. Also, a god who reacts to people's disbelief in him by punishing them with eternal torture doesn't seem like a very nice, or merciful god to me. But if he really does exist, maybe he should make it more obvious?

It's perfectly ok, you don't have to debate about this if you don't want to.

But I do find that this video can apply to many things other than religion though. It's about having the ability to question things that you are not sure of, and having the ability to be skeptical when you think that some things "don't add up", instead of believing in something just because that's what you were taught, or because "everyone else does".
