That's silly. It is possible to say things you don't mean. And lets say you needed that money for a loved one's heart operation or cancer therapy?
Pretty silly to say considering you have zero evidence for your god claim, or a Satan for that matter.
If someone offered me $100,000 to denounce Yoda, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Because in both cases, my morality isn't coming from old mythology or fiction.
On the other hand, I would give any amount of money to have my late mother still alive. And unlike any old mythological deity, I would not sell my provable cat for any amount of money.
But if some sucker wants to give me $100,000 to say that sure, because it really would have no affect on me in reality.
Your post here is what scares me about my fellow human's bad use of logic.
Most humans are good, but unfortunately at the same time, are sold at birth utopias that do not exist, and are willing to defend things solely on tradition, desire, and tribalism.
It is absurd that you'd hedge your bets on things you'd have no evidence for, when the pragmatic person could take that money and use it for real living humans here and now, like family, friends and the good of society now.
If words had magic powers, in the context of superstition, then anyone who picks on ABBA will be smote, struck down by Thor.
