This is were Pascale Wagar argument kicks in.

Quote:Where are you going to place your bet?If you place it with God, you lose nothing, even if it turns out that God does not exist. But if you place it against God, and you are wrong and God does exist, you lose everything: God, eternity, heaven, infinite gain. "Let us assess the two cases: if you win, you win everything, if you lose, you lose nothing."~Peter Kreeft

We've been through this already and you try your hardest to not acknowledge the point made. Pascal's wager is wrong because believing in a god does cost you while you are still alive regardless of whether you are correct or not.
