Will I get to heaven if I invent a machine that believes for me?

Question

Author Douglas Adams, in his book 'The Long Dark Teatime Of The Soul' featured a robot which had the power to believe things 'they wouldn't believe in Salt Lake City'. The idea was to have a machine to do all the believing for you.

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

They're called "prayer wheels".

Answer 3

If you had the ability to create such a machine you wouldnt be here asking this on yahoo answers

Answer 4

You have a very good chance going to heaven if you go to Vegas roll the dice and they come up seven or eleven.

Answer 5

Necessity is the mother of invention. You can always pay a pound for prayer.

Answer 6

What if you made a computer program that recorded your voice and then apologized for your sins and said the lords prayer everyday automatically!

Answer 7

There is no salvation "by proxy."

Answer 8

I think it may have to be a pill rather than a machine, a sort of Viagra only designed to lift your faith & keep it up for unnaturally long periods of time.

No doubt there will be some stiff competition at the pearly gates.

Anyway RIP Douglas Adams, I do miss him, this is what he has to say about God.

Steve ,this is cute, I don't know if your serious or not, But to shine a light the Bible says we have to choose to believe in the other beliefs of to believe in the on that created you. when you were a child we believed in Santa Clause(Satan=santa,LOL) We believed in our parent(s) or guardians protection.We have to decide on the truth or falseness of false Prophets, not a machine,. This world of full of enough of machines doing work we did on our owns in the 50's and 60's. If all machines crashed or failed, People that have lived in this world of technology would run around in panic and chaos. ..................

See people already rely on machines as it is, they believe that GPS will get them there(instead of reading a atlas), they believe their cell phone will work(more pay phones are becoming instinct), You trust the computer will work for 6 years,You trust and Believe the (soon to have to have) T.V. will work but if it dont, and a storm comes, will the other electronics work to. God takes all believers, the Devil has it set up for failure, radio station you like looses people, Truck drivers halling your families food, they are gone?, all Innocent children not knowing right from wrong gone,? empty schools,? Airplanes captains vanish will airplane fly itself without the auto pilot button pushed? Satellite technicians that believe in God vanish, OOPS Cell phones go out, TV gone , employees missing, Millions and millions missing, and the Belief Machine that believe for you lied and you are standing their going oops I'm in for it ow, I goofed????
