Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?
RE: Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?
Pascals wager once again is nothing more than another theist ploy to convince you that you need God or Jesus in your life.Considering that he says basically that if you believe in God you have much to gain but if you dont you have much to lose and the consequences are dire in the afterlife.

Actually, looking at it from a theists stand point you are not really guaranteed a place in heaven whether you serve God or not.He expects humility and self sacrifice not only of your wants and needs but your own desires in this present life.That is alot to lose considering that from an atheists view you only have one life to live.I will continue to be an atheist and enjoy my life before I sacrifice it for something that in all honesty in my view does not even exist.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
