Is it really necessary to create a thread that you know will turn into a flamewar?

obviously not if you read my post

So you read pascals wager. Whoopdefreekin doo. Been there done that and don't really care. At least I am thinking and reading up about other reasons/purposes for our existence other then "because god made it that way"

Actually I have no idea wtf pascals wager is, but I'm assuming it's similar to what i said.

And as for your last sentence, WTF does that have to do with what I said? You assume all my answers to life's Qs are "because god made it that way"?

So for all these people who think they are so smart thinking there is no God or higher being, etc, what if you're wrong? So if there IS a God, and you guys are all burning in hell, does that actually make you really dumb yourselves? Let's think about this in a "intelligent" or mathmatical way:

Let's take the scenario, that the probability of God's existance is 0.01:

So p(God exists) = 0.01 p(God not exist) = 0.99

You decide not to believe in God. You piss on everyone that believes, and you ridicule and persecute (basically everything God said people would do if you believe in Him). So basically you take this stance:

(0.01 * Eternity in Hell) + (0.99 * You become nothing and lived like a shthole your whole life)

As opposed to believers:

(0.01 * Eternal Life) + (0.99 * Hey, at least you lived a good life)


So for you non-believers, I'm not telling you to stop talking smack (for it's God's free will that allows you to), maybe you should stop and think before you make assumptions, persecute, and think you're Einstein. Maybe you should stop and think if it's really worth it.

PS. even change 0.01 to 0.0001, or 1 - .999bar

If there is a God, who's to say that if you don't belive you'll go to hell? From your arguement it sounds like you belive in God to cover all your bases, are you trying to pull a fast one on GOD?!?!

If they non-believers are right...then nothing happens to the believers and nothing happens to the non-believers.

If the believers are right...then they go to heaven and the non-believers don't...

I like the odds for the believers betters - either way they come out ok.

But if you don't believe it isn't a matter of playing the odds. You simply don't believe. Would God really be fooled if you didn't believe, but pretended to?

A good life in servitude? I'd rather not let someone not in touch with reality tell me what I should do to be moral. I live a damn good life not believing.

If "god" is peaceful and loving I don't think it would matter, unless his ego is so large as to force mass burnings for not having faith in something we can not see.

What he said.
Basically, what you (the OP) are saying in your argument is that you believe in God because if you didn't you might burn in hell. This, btw, makes you a COMPLETE FVCKING RETARD. Faith shouldn't be based on threats, it should be based on your perceptions and beliefs. I have nothing against anyone of ANY religion, but when people start using scare tactics to "recruit" it makes me sick to my stomach.

you're worshipping a false god

the true one's getting more pissed every day you're "living a good life" because the only way into her grace is semen sacrifice

Here's my wager with the assumption that there *Isn't* a god.

I try to live my life being as good of a person as I can helping out when I can, and treating people as I myself would be treated. Essentially following the golden rule.

Given this...

If there is no God, I die knowing that I treated people well and that I was as good a person as I could be.

If there is a God, hopefully my actions are noticed and I'm not sent to eternal damnation for them. Plus I still die knowing that I was a good person.

Either way I die without feeling like an asshole.
