I'm not a gambler ,but the cost benefit ratio is on the side of the believer
who risks nothing but gives up disease ,alcoholism, crime and early death
and could pssibly gain eternal life in a state of bliss.
If ,you're wrong ,all you gain is some guilty pleasures and lose an eternity.
If I'm right I give up vice and crime and perversions but gain an eternity .
its a no brainer ,except for those with no brains
I just finished reading the RULES ..and this could get me banned.. so here's your big chance to get me dumped. start complaining now ..
The brother asks a very important question, he says that, why fall for short term pleasures and risk Hell, when you can have all the pleasures you want for eternity in the ahera, or, the after life, following a life of abstinence.
The answer to that question is because us atheists have not come to the conclusion that God doesn't exist easily. It is a result of a great thinking effort and study that went on for years. It is a spirit of observation that we use to guide ourselves. The more you think about it rationally, the lesser the probability for God to exist gets.
So the guy who gets a long lasting blowjob from his female lover 2 hours after swallowing 30mg Dexedrine XR and a Tums does think about that risk, but believe me, it is well worth it. The probability for God to exist is so low that obeying the scriptures when you could get a blowjob on dexedrine is...purely idiotic, not to mention irrational.
You simply do not give the bird your hands hold for the bird on the fence. What is yours is yours assured, when you die, well, that's a completely different story. Religion simply manipulates fearful people into renouncing to the right nature has given them to experience pleasure. It is abomination.
