Ah Pascal's Wager. It becomes abhorrently banal to dismantle these apologists regurgitated arguments only to have them pop back up like a weeble wobble. We are adults, well most of us anyway, grow up and make a decision. Either you believe, or you don't. It really makes no difference. I would personally prefer some sort of decision on the matter, as your dancing in between reminds me of a small child who can't decide between the red bike or blue one. If god does exist, do you think he/she will respect this indecisive, fingers behind your back, cover all bases because it's better safe than sorry nonposition? I would rather spend an eternity in hell as an unwavering atheist than bow to a megalomaniacal tyrant that behaves like a child and creates a cruel game that damns the majority of its creations for using their intellect instead of just believing.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
