...oh. That's all they had?
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."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
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

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
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Q: My son, why have you believed in me?

Whoops! ![]() When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
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.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
