Pascal's wager and atheism (split from What made you stop believing in God?)
interesting
but i dont think the atheist is 'betting' on anything. i think they are just being honest with themselves. I for example, dont think belief is a choice. I could try to believe ,but then i will have these constant voices nagging at me with questions like "but what about this? and what about that?". you just cant believe in something which doesn't hold up.
And the shameful thing is that the church says we are forgiven- by someone's invisible friend- but that "feeling better" is only legitimate when the forgiveness is from the one actually wronged.
Nasty bastards, aren't they?
