You have to pay a tithe.
You're told how to behave and act according to a book and how someone else interprets it according to their own personal bias and lose the freedom to figure things out for yourself.
You have to spend time praying, going to church every Sunday and proselytising.
You are conditioned and are repressed in unhealthy ways, such as believing that non-reproductive sex and masturbation is somehow unhealthy
You are compelled to spend time and effort to infect other people with the god virus, just like you are doing now.
Believing in god is like being infected with a parasite. It takes over your life and influences your actions to help it spread to other hosts.
All rather pointless if there is no god and there is only one short finite life. This is why Pascal's wager is wrong. Believing in God carries a cost.
So what? I'd rather Go to Heaven than Hell for all eternity.
But if you're wrong and there is no eternal Heaven and Hell then you have endured the above loss during your one finite life for no reason.
Therefore Pascal's wager doesn't work. His wager assumes that there is no cost to believing. There is.
How much clearer can I make it? How many times do I need to repeat this? I've even formatted it for you.
