You are a very sad, and somewhat frightening individual. I hope you don't possess weapons.

>>717256849

Math doesn't conclusively prove that God exists, it is just suggested that believing in God is a more efficient position for someone to take.

However, if the only reason why you "believe in God" is because it is a "safer option," then I'm not entirely sure that that would grant you access to heaven. Aren't you supposed to genuinely believe in him?

In any case, there are plenty of other religions / deities / belief systems, so in reality, mathematically speaking, the probability of you selecting the "correct" religion is highly unlikely.

I suggest you operate in a way that maximizes your ability to achieve any goals you deem worthwhile before your time on this world is over.

If there is conclusive, verifiable proof, then provide it.

And Pascals Wager states that it is smarter to be either agnostic or atheist.

Pascal's wager isn't a mathematical or logic based argument. It's a philosophical one. And it wasn't a wager because that's what Pascal would do in that situation.

>>717256849
Which god? There are hundreds of religions, all with their own concept of "god".
So which one do we need to believe in?
Allah?
Thor?
Zeus?
...

Considering Aristotle actually measured the circumference of the Earth, we're going to need some citations on those claims.

its about belief in a way, but i wouldn't say its a christian thing.

At very worst, If Jesus existed, at least he wasn't a nigger, as some (niggers) claim.

I always tell myself I'll accept God on my deathbed if I feel like it.

I mean, he has forgiven murderers and rapists and pedos. Surely he'll forgive a simple fool.

Fucking Christfags are so fucking retarded I swear to Godlessness.

>>717259692
it's good until you turned it political

>>717260237
but you need to be baptised

>>717260485
I am tho.

The main problem with Pascal's wager is that it suffers from the fallacy of bifurcation. It only calculates with two options when there are, in fact, at least four alternatives: The christian God and afterlife, some other god and afterlife, atheism with afterlife, and atheism without afterlife. Therefore Pascal's wager is invalid as an argument.

>people born thousands of years before Christ are condemned to hell simply because they weren't Christian
>people born disconnected from the world are condemned to hell simply because they aren't aware of Christianity's existence

Christians explain yourselves.

>>717260554
Yet here you are defaming your immortal soul on this vile, twisted website. Bet you fap to your hearts content too, at least atheists are honest with themsevles.

Pascal's wager presupposes there is a god bc life would be meaningless without him. There can be no meaning without god. Therefore what do you have to lose.

>>717260781
I do whatever I like. It's how God created me. Surely he wanted me to feel the feels I'm feeling, otherwise he'd not have given me them.

>>717260890
But havent you read your bible, those feelings are wrong and your very birth is the most damning of sins. SMH

>>717261146
If you have a pet, do you give it poison?

>>717260875
Yet for hundreds of millions of years, life existed without god.... hmmmm.

>>717261196
Why would I give it poison??

>>717261293
Exactly. Why would God give you bad things?

I choose disbelief because watermelons are more water than humans, so why would God choose to make watermelons more water than humans are when humans are the best life on Earth??

Checkmate atheists.

I can't give my dog cancer. But apparently god does, because....reasons.

k

>>717261476
God made watermelons more water than humans so that niggers have a way of attaining something remotely human that's a bit better than a human so they can feel good about themselves. God is all-loving in that way. Checkm8 atheists.

>>717261717

If got was all loving then he wouldnt make niggers because they are disgusting and violent

>>717256849
I read an article the other day on BBC that made me think there had to be a god. They stated that we have to be in a simulation because of how ordered the universe is in it's nature.

Something made the universe we live in, but it can't be god, it was other people. WTF

>>717261901
We make simulations all the time, why can't it be another person?

>>717261847
God didn't make niggers, they are the devil spawn.

Because, this generation thinks they are the end all be all, and can't bring themselves to believe in something greater than themselves. all due to some faggot somewhere thinking it was edgy to be a atheist. But yet whenever their lives are threatened it's" oh my god". You never hear " oh my nothingness " or " oh my spaghetti monster tentacles in the sky!"
Why? because they know it's bullshit, but it's better to play the edgemaster instead of a believer. Because they read so on the internet. That and it gives you a opening to be complete and utter douche bag to everyone and everything. With no moral code to keep you in check, you end up with low tier closet case faggots on 4chan wanting to fuck a cat, or fap to some fucking guy wearing a dress.

TL:DR
Because faggots need excuse to do faggot things without worrying about being wrong in the eyes of a god.
It's all for the cock.
