Gaming as fictitious as Religion?

These are the consequences of deciding atheism is true, if atheism is true, there is no eternity. Your decision is of course the most rational one for you, there is no doubt about that. If it was different, you would be not a atheist.

Of course you are atheist because you think the other options are not plausible, it is like this in all matters of life.

Eternal life exists or doesn't exist.  My opinion doesn't have any impact on that.

Of course. When one is a atheist he of course believes that there is no eternal life and, therefore, after death nothing remains. He also believes that no one created the Universe.

When one believes in the eternal life, he of course has some kind of theistic or supernatural world view.

Either way, neither belieth shapes the universe, it is what it is. 

If the theist is wrong, he will be a fool after death, but he will not know it.

If the atheist is wrong, he will be a fool after death, and he will know it.

Either way, it is a hard step to take and I respect either decisions one takes. But, of course, as a christian, I wish everyone believe and where saved.

Saved from what? A atheist would say "saved from nothing" and, by this world view, he would be correct. But you know my beliefs.

Fascinating subject, but I do disagree when you guys say it is easy to decide. I think it is a hard decision either way. 

Edit: I always was fascinated by the famous atheist Christopher Hitchens, as he stated that even if God existed he would not bow to Him, cause he hates Him and thinks this hipothetic God is not worthy of it.

I never had a chance to ask that to other atheists "What would you do if God was real, would you worship Him?" 

But I was always mermerized by the boldness of Hitchens answer. This is not a answer one give in lightness, and he was brave enough to not dodge the question either. It would be very easy to say "I will not answer cause I KNOW there is no god"
