Atheists Wager
#14
RE: Atheists Wager
It's not a question of what we're supposed to do or not supposed to do. "Supposed" suggests some kind of subservience to a higher authority, which is the very thing under contention. Think more along the lines of obligation to the society in which we live, and what we tend to do with people who don't play ball for whatever reason.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
