What does it matter that the same message has been repeated over and over?  Repetition doesn't lend reality to fiction.

Again: provide evidence.  If you have none for your god, that means you also have none for your hell.

I completely agree. It is illogical and there is no evidence. 100% agree Big Grin

My entire discussion was only based on evaluating the high risk involved, that's all. As in **if** it turns out to be true, then I'm f*cked. And it would be a high risk gamble.

I guess I can clarify what I'm trying to say in this fashion:
the risk that Mr. Unicorn well own my a$$ in hell is pretty low (1%??) because I didn't find consistent corroborated claims from Mr. Unicorn telling me about it.
but the risk that this particular god has the capacity to deliver on these warnings seems a bit higher (20%? 50%?) due to the presence of many consistent corroborated claims

SO ... I'm not saying believing is right or wrong.

I'm only saying the risk is pretty steep

The risk is negligible.  Your statement that it is 50/50 is ridiculous given that there is no evidence for any gods.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
