nope... not scared that santa will suddenly appear and tell me that i'm to get coal in my stocking

The wager is widely considered one of the weakest arguments for a religion. It incorrectly poses the outcome of the wager as having only two possible outcomes. In fact, there is an infinite set of possible outcomes, as there are an infinite set of possible gods which can be divided into a plethora of infinite subsets. One subset of gods might not have an afterlife, another might accept anybody into an afterlife, another might have criteria that disqualify all human beings. Your chance of picking the right god is actually 1/?, otherwise known as zero.

Yes, l have..but then l look around the world and all the horrible things happening and how man is the one destroying everything, especially the very planet we live on and think no god would let us continue in this fashion..l firmly believe were the parasites killing our host.

I 've got to quote bill Maher on this one"BUT I'M NOT WRONG!" religion of all manner is bogus as far as coming from a divine source. It is strictly human doctrine.

God is a made up human word..animals don't know of such things..look at whales and elephants their brains are huge..l do believe they're smarter than us even though they don't speak human..we've yet to find evidence they worship...anything.

At one point or another it has crossed my mind, but it’s not something I’ve ever put serious thought into. I simply look around at all the “good” christians, see what assholes they can be when they think they are going to be rewarded or punished for their actions in the end, and think that if a god did exist then they should (theoretically) be a just and rational god and know that I’ve been a good person just because I want to be and not because I thought I’d be rewarded. That in and of its self is pretty selfless and should be highly looked upon by this so called god so I should be good no matter if I’m right or wrong.

People with this attitude strike me as someone in a Vegas casino who are looking at the last chips in their hand that say "Well I may as well bet these, I MIGHT win. And if I lose, what more did it cost me?"
You had another option. Walk away from the table and refuse to play. Go buy a souvenir on the strip or buy the cheap buffet.

no

How would we know if we were wrong?

Not a for a second.
Too much scientific evidence disproves every religious myth

I don't know how many people would agree with this but the question, "What if you're wrong? is meaningless. I gave traditional theism a chance. I asked if any divine being would reveal his/her/itself to me. I have waited for an answer. I have sought and really found nothing. I am not going to chase after phantoms, if that makes any sense. If any divine being wants me to believe that s/he/it exists, then such a being ought to be perfectly capable of getting my attention and setting me straight.

Only way I'd accept that I was wrong, is with overwhelming scientific proof that shows beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there's a god.

If I’m wrong I believe I am living a good enough life that I could be forgiven for not believing

That question should be directed at believers

Yes, and all I can say if a God appeared and asked why I didn't believe, I'd be honest and say, "You didn't give us enough evidence!"

yep... but never stops to argue the point.

I’ll be dead so it won’t matter. And I was dead before getting here... so I’ll be a non factor

Of course...and it should! We should always be looking at the available evidence in support of or opposition to our beliefs, so they can remain those most likely to be true.

Now, I've never seen any evidence that even comes close to suggesting that gods, spirits, souls, ghosts, etc. are real, so I don't believe in them. But I'm open to evidence--real, documented, tested scientific evidence--if it comes along!

Sure it has crossed my mind. That is why I am Agnostic!

Not really... Which is actually fairly odd for me, given over as I am to analysis-paralysis. I was far more doubtful when I was trying to believe this or that. That's when I felt like I was suspended at a great height by a net of unknown provenance. Now I feel like I'm standing on the ground: I have zero fear of falling.
