He's essentially making Pascal's Wager:
There are eight very strong criticisms of the Wager, which can be read in this Wikipedia article. I highly recommend it to those who take this line of thinking seriously.This is how Alec Fisher puts The Wager in his book The Logic of Real Arguments (2004):
Either there is a Christian God or there isn't. Suppose you believe in His existence and lead a Christian life. Then, if he does exist you will enjoy eternal bliss and if He doesn't exist you will lose very little. But suppose you don't believe in His existence and don't lead a Christian life. If He doesn't exist you will lose nothing, but if He does exist, you will suffer eternal damnation! So it is rational and prudent to believe in [a Christian] God's existence and to live a Christian life.
If you bothered to read the thread you would have known two things:
1) This points was already made and reiterated
2) The real topic at hand is about the wonderful world of Stargate
Stargate sucks, movie aside. Never liked it. Firefly on the other hand, woot!
wtf Stargate is part of the great triad known as SciFi Friday The triad is currently incomeplete with BSG missing, but soon it will be restored to full power.
Firefly unfortunately fell victim to the wrath of "the network"
Dude, totally. SciFi Friday just won't be the same without Stargate. What are they going to do, add in another craptastic made-for-TV movie? Oooh, maybe another lame - I mean exciting - horrible dragon-esque sort of flick. Yeah, those work real well for ratings . . .
Firefly was a good show, but I can see why it would be cancelled on a network. It really should have been produced on SciFi (or another cable channel) from the get-go.
