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

What have you really GAINED?

The time that christians spend in church, the money I might otherwise have spent on tithes, a rational universe that I don't have to constantly fear will suddenly change at the whim of a capricious deity, the knowledge that I spent my life actually doing things to make the world a better place, rather than just waiting for the super happy next life to happen.

That's what I gain, off the top of my head. There's probably more.

Quote: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.

And if you're wrong and some other religion is right? Are you worried about that at all?

What if the god that exists rewards atheists and punishes christians? Worried about that? It has the same chance of being true as christianity, given that we have no evidence for either. Are you worried, Artur? Or are you demonstrating your unwarranted presuppositions again? Thinking


Quote: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.

Quote:Most atheists are not really atheists but are looking for something to justify something society looks at as abnormal.

Telling atheists what they think for them?

Seriously, fuck off, if that's the direction you're actually going to take. Because if you're going to assert that without evidence, then guess what? Most of whatever religion you are, don't actually believe in that religion. They're just lying to cover for their abnormalities.

I can play the unjustifiable assertion game too, fuckwad. Dodgy
