Well...it's a sort of evidence...I guess.

Yeah, that's about the gist of it. That, and "the bible is the word of God because the bible says so."

I had someone write that I was in an internationally touring rock band and had a million dollars in the bank. I had them call it the gospel according to Ryan. But I'm still playing in my garage and dont have a million dollars in the bank. Oh well, with all this hype I thought it might work... I guess I'm wrong. At least I can admit it and make the best of my mediocre musical talent and small savings in the bank

I am not going to entertain any god claim unless claimed god can fart ice cream. One with nuts and corn, you know rocky road.

Once they START thinking more seriously then they leave Pascal's wager behind.

Yes - because it is OBVIOUS that religion is nonsense

Pascals wager is useless since it has a major flaw - it assumes that if a god exists - it can ONLY be one god - or one group of gods.

And that is not established to be true as well.

It is clear from everyday life - that religion simply is nonsense. Humans have been fighting each other in the Middle East over the "Holy Land" since before the xtian god created the earth timeline. If the gods of that area cannot provide peace - what makes you think they would be of any use otherwise?

Pascals wager is like a gun with 4400 barrels and only one is empty, and your playing Russian roullette

Q: My son, why have you believed in me?

A: To avoid the risk of infinite loss for no gain.

Whoops!

It's like I've always said, this flavour of The Faithful don't worship their god as much as fear it. What a sad waste of a life to throw it all away on the monster under the bed.
