If I am correct, it means I get to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus my Savior and Redeemer.
Wagering this short life seems like a pretty safe bet when the stakes are eternity.
You left out the part that if your baseless assumption is false, and there is nothing to indicate it is not, then you will waste the only life you have and miss opportunities all under the illusion that you have some special access to a trans-dimensional plane where you live for ever and have your every need catered for. Have you ever actually said that aloud? Because it sounds like the very definition of wishful thinking.
Its also a form of wishful thinking religion is all too happy to move the goal posts to humour. First the soul is an actual organ in the body, then after the first autopsy its suddenly "metaphysical". We're centre of the universe... oh fuck, nevermind. The Bible is literal, oh wait... no turns out thats impossible... ok its metaphorical. Can someone listen to this shameless bartering without realizing they are listening to tricksters redefining the parameters of their illusion to better fool their audience?
Regardless of how short it is, your life will be wasted under the guise of a fantasy.
