This was my reason for clinging to faith for so long. And it was just that, a desperate clinging.
The thing is, it's impossible to be "safe". You might believe in Jesus just to be safe...but what if when you die you meet Mohammad. Then you burn in hell. Make sense?
Pascal's Wager is a "false dichotomy", which means it falsely presents two options: you're either a Christian - or you're an atheist. You can also be a Muslim or a Hindu (or thousands of others), all (or at least most) have some version of a hell.
Realizing this was a key step in my becoming an atheist. Check this out:
