There once were two men, a theist and another man who had been known to be one of the greatest liars of his time.
The theist had gone to a judge and told him that the liar owed him a great deal of money. The liar merely said that this was untrue but he was willing to wager all the money he had on a test to see if the theist was indeed a truthful man of God.
The liar proposed that the theist would stand before two doors. Behind one would be an angry lion that would tear him apart. Behind the other would be all the money the liar possessed.
Liar -"If your god exists and he judges you to be truthful, then you can pray to your god and he will reveal which door you should open. Does this seem fair ?"
Theist - "I am positive that my god exists. I accept your wager."
That evening the liar placed a lion in the east door and all his money in the west door.
Watching from the shadows, the theist now knew which door to pick.
The next day arrived and the two stood before the doors.
The liar spoke up and said to theist "Has your god informed you which door you should pick ?"
Theist -"Indeed he has. I shall open the door to the west and collect the money you owe me."
The liar spoke again "I saw you in the shadows and I moved the lion to the west door. Perhaps your god didn't see this."
Theist -"Of course he did. He is all seeing. He merely wanted me to pick the west door in order to get you to reveal your plan. I pick the door to the east."
Liar -"Are you sure ? After all, I am a liar."
The theist was unsure which door he should pick.
Dropping to his knees, he prayed and prayed for an answer. Hours went by and the theist could not choose a door.
The judge concluded that the theist wasn't being truthful about the liar owing him money and given how long he prayed for an answer that never came, his god probably didn't exist either.
