Pascal's Wager rebooted. Just for fun.
If there is a god, how do you know that it does not prefer atheists anyway ? After all, from gods point of view: We do not waste the short lives it gave us in useless ritual, we do not set up ten thousand other fake gods in its name, we do not tell it what we believe it should do and think, and we do not use its name to justify exploiting and abusing other people or the planet and its life, and we do not arrogantly claim to have a special relationship with it, that others don't.
You got to figure, why would god not just LOVE an atheist. Almost makes me wish there was a god.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Personally, if there is a god then I am one of his favorites. I have not driven spikes into his hands and feet. I have not lied or made up stories about him that are false, and I have never supported any person who has used his name to make money.

Aside from whether: 1) one can choose between many gods; 2) doing good or evil even matter to ‘god’ re: reward; 3) humans can have a personal relationship to ‘god’; 4) humans are more special to 'god' than other life forms ... shouldn't one be concerned about whether ‘god’ will honor the wager that 'he' does or doesn't exist, for we have no proof that ‘he’ will honor it. Nor do we have any proof that ‘he’ values faith above reason. The wager appears to be a theory, apt to be disproved.

Yes it always has been more full of holes than a strainer.
The comic genius of the late Dave Allen sums it up.
Voltaire: " God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."
