christian
no harm in believing right
If you die and even if god doesnt exist, no harm in insurance in believing in him

 Ok. I'll backtrack on the not getting too much into it statement. And I realize that that's not the entirety of your beliefs and reasoning, I'm just zoning in on that one tiny aspect of belief.

 

I've always been fairly opposed to that reasoning for the following reasons.

 Why the christian god? There have been thousands of dieties worshipped by human beings.  It's not a 50/50 assumption of god or not, it's more like a  50/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/ of no gods or which god. now the safe bet would be to believe in all of them then. Except that 1. Most religions put a priority on exclusive belief, so that pantheism would actually induce damnation and 2. It'd just be really hard to find out all the religions you'd have to believe in.

 

And also, regardless of the diety, were you to die and be judged by them, do you really think they'd say "Well you're only believing in me to get into my afterlife.... so sure! Why not!? 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
