A category of intelligent people find comfort in not taking risks because by nature risks are unpredictable. These people believe it to be a risk to disbelieve god and risk going to hell, so they cling on to these beliefs in the hopes of enjoying a fabulous afterlife.
Afterall a lot of them believe that they don't loose anything from believing so why risk it and disbelieve and risk going to hell for eternity. I guess by nature atheists take more risks and are more adventurous than thesits. Thoughts?
Pascal's wager, yeah. Totally flawed, but seems to convince a lot of people.
That's interesting about atheists taking more risks... or theists playing it safe. Maybe! That does make a kind of sense.
