What do you think of this passage?

[truth_seeker]

There appears to be a group of historical documents that different groups of people have **claimed** to be from this god.  
Hence my increased ballpark risk evaluation for this god (say, at 20%? .. not more than 50) compared to the risk from the Unicorn (±0.1%?)

But that's just it - a 'claim' that a particular document is of divine origin has no more weight than the 'claim' that Rufus saw a unicorn or that Matilda was abducted by aliens with laser printers where their genitals should be.  And it doesn't lend weight to Rufus' claim that 100 of his friends have never known him to lie - Rufus could be mistaken, or he might have been hallucinating.  

And the fact that a group of nomadic semi-savages have decided  - long, loooong - after the fact that this Gospel or this Sura is the Divine word of the Almighty doesn't sway me in the least.  Especially when there's evidence to the contrary.

I really couldn't agree more with what you're saying   .. you are absolutely right

The point that I'm talking about is a slightly different angle ...
my point is the **cost** of the risk ...

perhaps Mr. Unicorn is a chill cool giant up there somewhere ... I never got any sets of corroborated claims that he has some sort of a punishment plan ... >> Conclusion: cost/risk of ignoring it is practically zero

but for this god .. there seems to be corroborated claims that he has a fierce punishment plan ready ... >> Conclusion: cost/risk of ignoring it seems pretty high .. this guy's plan includes eternal punishment (and reward, for that matter) ..
