What's more of a risk than wasting the only life you get based on superstition?

Well you do have a point that in this world the Christian may be wasting his life if he is wrong. But most Christians live fairly good, happy lives so I am not sure it is so bad.

But the possible infinite loss of the atheist and agnostic may not be worth the imagined temporary gain in this life.
You're cherry picking the easiest question/problem and ignoring a dozen others in just the last page or so, and even the one you 'answered' has validity based on the odds of any god existing. May I ask what your purpose here is?
