Possibly an Atheist's Thought?

[Mister Agenda]

It is Sunday morning. Saturday is gone, I can't get that back. That means one less day of existence. My finite life just got a day shorter. My life is one week shorter that last Sunday. Each day just keeps zipping by. I thought I knew so much, there is so much more to learn. Where has my life gone? Where did the time go, the years, the decades? This world can be so disappointing and difficult, then when that fateful day comes, that's it. I mean, that's the end, no more me, gone forever. Into the ground I go, no more life, just a memory. In a couple of generations I probably won't even be remembered. Its kinda sad.

But what if there really is a God? What if indeed when I die I have consciousness? What if I see God? What if I am wrong? What if God exists?

Even if you feel you are 99.99% sure there is no God, are you willing to risk your eternal destiny if that .01% chance it may be true?

You seem perfectly willing to ignore the chance that God may prefer Muslims, or Brahma is the deity who actually created the universe.

That was a pretty big build-up for Pascal's Wager. Here's a link to criticisms of it (there are a lot):

I wonder why all the arguments for God are bad ones?

But what if there really is a Quetzalcoatl? What if indeed when I die I have consciousness? What if I see Quetzalcoatl? What if I am wrong? What if Quetzalcoatl exists?

Even if you feel you are 99.99% sure there is no Quetzalcoatl, are you willing to risk your eternal destiny if that .01% chance it may be true?

And with tens of thousands of gods to choose from, the odds that you happened to pick the wrong one are very, very high.
