djzpt:
I don't think that is a very good analogy.
Perhaps not, but then let's avoid analogies and discuss specifics.
djzpt:
We are not talking about something that if you don't participate in it, there are no consequences.
Sure we are. I believe in God, but not the God of Christianity, nor the God of Islam, nor the God of Hinduism, nor the God of Buddhism, nor the God of any of the world's religions. My personal religion has no book of rules and penalities, unless you count the laws of physics. The God that I believe in has not yet revealed himself to us in any overt way, and I don't know that he ever will. All the world's religious books and beliefs merely reflect man's yearning to know the power and the purpose behind existence.
