Atheists who become Christians

[robvalue]

That's called pascals wager. There are an infinite number of possible religions, so you have effectively a 1 in infinity chance of "picking" the right one. And then you don't believe it, you are just picking it to be safe, I doubt any god would be impressed with that?

And everyone loses. Every second you spend praying, worshipping god etc is a second wasted, and if you pick christianity you're validating all the horrific harm it has done and still does. Same with Islam.

If you just make yourself believe there's some sort of god and some sort of afterlife, then that may not cause too much harm. But I'd rather deal with reality.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, just explaining my position, and why I think it's worth everyone examining their beliefs.
