Let's start with a new old topic
Pascal's Wager
I"ll put the statement which I'm trying to prove first
Atheism is a very weak position to take, (Anything is better than nothing)
P(G) is the probability of God existence (which is >0 unless you can prove that God doesn't exist)
V the value of your life
P(V) the probability of your death
P(G)/(P(V)xV) will go to infinity as your life is coming to an end
But as you don't know when are you going to die, you should embrace a religion NOW!
How about a nice hot cup of "fuck off"?

You are gambling with your life as if you die suddenly you will lose everything
You don't say? Lose your life and you lose everything? Really? That had not occurred to any atheists.
Of course, there won't be a "you" to "know" that you've "lost everything"
Quote:but if you have a religion you will have a better chance
hock:Quick, sign me up to Islam!
So I have a better chance of...what, by the way?
Tell you what, you wouldn't catch me kneeling to Mecca 5 times a day, abstaining from drink, treating women like animals and all of the other bullshit - what a waste of your one, shit, life.

WHY?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
