And if you are wrong , eternity is a long time.

[GrandizerII]

I don't know what the risks are. And I don't have access to any evidence showing that I should consider those risks. Furthermore, what God and what eternity are we speaking of here? Allah? Eternity in Janneh or Jouhannam?

Provide evidence and then we can discuss the risks. Otherwise, there's no point in living life as if God exists.

O.K . so let's just say , You are right and I'm wrong ..

What have you really GAINED?

But you are putting yourself at a greater risk,because If I'm right and you are in fact WRONG!

Then you have an endless eternity in pain and misery to deal with.

its the risk/reward ratio you have to deal with.

In fact many atheists do exactly that. and that's why we have so many deathbed confessions. and conversions. its called covering your bases and your arses.

I gain a lot by sticking to what the evidence alone tells me as I don't have to restrict how I live according to ideas for which there is no evidence anyway.

I see no reason to live my life going regularly to church and singing praises to Jesus for the same reason I see no reason going to the mosque to pray to Allah. Nor do I see a reason to avoid certain foods/practices/activities purely for religious purposes. The evidence is lacking. So why should I restrict my life for something that's far from probable and knowing that it doesn't even necessarily have to be the God you claim to follow(I see you did not address this part of my argument)?

You speak of odds. Well, great. The odds are extremely low that heaven or hell exist anyway. And I'm actually being generous by not arguing that it's impossible for heaven or hell to exist.
