I like your frank answer!
I was being sarcastic, and speaking to the judgmental attitude of some theists I have encountered. The truth is, in a lifetime of examining claims, I have not found sufficient reason to believe.

Sorry, I'll try to change the subject. I guess for me, personally it's logical to look beyond life, if there is a chance something is after life. Do you have evidence I should consider that nothing is after life?

I don't really give a rip what you wish to talk about. Pascal's Wager is certainly nothing new, its been done to death here in some epic threads of inanity (please, please, do not post in the 'Aren't you atheists taking a big risk thread'). I've been doing this online discussion thing since the mid-1980's (not a typo), and it wasn't new then. Yet, like clockwork, someone comes in every few weeks thinking its some brilliant nugget of unassailable logic that has never been presented. It has, ad nauseum, and it has been shredded as many times.
Fresh arguments are likely to encounter significantly less derision.
