"A gunman has a gun to ur head. Do u want him to shoot?"
Do u want to live or die?
and whats the connection between this rephrasing and the original question?
if I want to live then I don't want him to shoot,,, now this sets up the goal for me to create a situation where I am not shot and if the gunman can't be made to not shoot me then what I want is effectively rendered irrelevant by default
BUT if I don't care and have no interest in living then why should I care if he shoots or not?
This scenario has outcomes that are clearly defined which is living or dying.
Now what outcomes exists based on gods existence or nonexistence? What decisions can be made based on whether or not a god exist that will have clearly defined outcomes? if a god exists and no decisions can ever be made based on his existence then its the exact same as him not existing.
