Stop deceiving yourself with eternal joy and peace. That is free money. It is like offering you money and telling you to do "Nothing" in return. cheesy

Bill Gates is an agnostic. These are some of his words.

Yea he said so that's why i said he his Agnostic. An agnostic is just sitting on the fence, They believe the truth about the existence of a "god" is unknowable(You can't prove it neither can you disprove it). This is the full quote;
"I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know."
Well i am not even sure if he is truly agnostic, most of his words are contradictory. But one thing is clear, he don't give a damn about "religion".

lol.. when d guy don wan die... im go confess shaperly.. cos he is a smart man. what would be the use not believing?, he would reason..
its better to believe and not exist in the afterlife than not believing and seeing it actually exists.

What matters in life is how you impact the world "positively". Bill gates is a philanthropist. If after saving millions of lives through his wealth he is going to burn for not believing in god then that "god" doesn't deserved to be a god.

The site didn't say if he is a Christian or not. It just reveal his family goes to a Catholic church. And didn't you read his response about god and religion. That is the tune of a confused man. This is an except from the link you gave me.
"The moral systems of religion, I think, are
super important.
We've raised our kids in a
religious way; they've gone to the Catholic
church that Melinda goes to and I participate in.
I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to
try and reduce the inequity in the world. And
that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at
least a moral belief,"
Gates says in an interview
with Rolling Stone in the March 27 issue of the
magazine.
When asked if he believed in God, he responded,
"I think it makes sense to believe in God, but
exactly what decision in your life you make
differently because of it, I don't know."

At the same time, he said he agrees with
"people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt
the need for creation myths."
He said this elsewhere;
I’m not somebody who goes to church on a
regular basis. The specific elements of
Christianity are not something I’m a huge
believer in.
There’s a lot of merit in the
moral aspects of religion. I think it can
have a very very positive impact… In
terms of doing things I take a fairly
scientific approach to why things happen
and how they happen. I don’t know if
there’s a god or not, but I think religious
principles are quite valid.

This is a debate still going on. He is not sure. When asked whether he believe in god or not he will somehow dodge the question. He is only interested in the "Moral aspects" of religion not the god itself, only the part that teaches you how to be good. He participate in a Catholic church and brought up his kids in a religious way doesn't mean he believed in god. And why will he be somehow doubting if he is truly a Christian. Are you "Somehow doubting" god's existence? If he truly believes a simple "Yes" or "No" will do. Like Unibenstudent above who proudly said "he can't betray Yahweh." If you understand Bill Gates tune he is more inclined to Atheist/Agnostic principles.

What exactly has Christianity or Islam brought Nigeria I don't think there is any country in the world with as much population of church goers as Nigeria, with politicians organising one thanks giving or another every other sabath, yet we can argue that we have the most crooked politicians in the world!! If I could have my way, I would have every public office holder swear by their traditional deities before assuming office. Them fear juju pass God!!

Which faith are you people talking about? You are a Christian only because you are born in Eastern Nigeria or in Western Nigeria or in Europe or America. If you were born by parents who are Sokoto indigenes, you will be a Muslim today.

If Pope Francis was born in Saudi Arabia by Saudi indigenes, today he will be a Muslim. Also, if the king of Saudi Arabia and the Sheikh of Qatar were born in Owerri by Catholic parents, today they will both be staunch Catholics.

These religious bigots are just over the whole place. The whitemen brought their religions to colonize us. Imaging so-call Christian missionaries capturing our fore-fathers, chaining them down and transporting them to whiteman's land to work as slave. And you call them missionaries of God. The same way Usmand Dan Fodio waged war in the North in order to capture the North in the name of Islam even when Northern Nigeria by then was already practicing Islam. The whitemen came to tell us that our gods are evil and their god is good, yet the God the exported to us killed more people in the Bible and the Quran than the people all our gods (ogun, sango, obatala, oya, amadioha, okija e.t.c.) put together have been accused of killing.

I am a Muslim because I was born into Islam, my wife is a Christian because she was born into Christianity. We are happy together. You all practice one religion or the other because you were born into it. How many of us researched into all the religions of the world before concluding that the one you currently practice is the best. You cannot just have idea about one thing and say that it is the best in the world, until you compare and contract it with all others. ogun and sango worshipers are living peacefully with each other and you tell me that Christians and Muslims that are also at each others throat are better than ogun and sango worshippers.

That means your god is a stingy and wicked being. Nobody deserve to spend eternity with that kind of jealous being. Did Bill Gates asks to be born? So he is more concern about who believes in him? Despite all the calamities befalling earth and even his followers. I see what you people meant by "A loving god". He loves you so much that he created Hell just in case you don't love him back!

Well said! If only the Roman Empire made [url=en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_religion]Hellenistic religion[/url] the official religion of the Empire Christianity wouldn't be in existence today. But Theodosius I , the last emperor to rule over both East and West make sure that didn't happen. Because he is a Christian he made Christianity the official religion(And the persecution of Pagans started). This goes to show how religion is just an instrument of man.
