You know what's so funny about Atheism? If the Christians are right(which we are) then all the atheists get a one-way ticket to hell, but if by some impossibility the atheists are right absolutely nothing happens to the christians or any other religion because that would mean there would be no higher being to punish us! So its a win-win for religion while atheists are playing a fifty-fifty. Good luck burning for eternity.

Yeah. Life is funny like that. Either "Nothing Happens" or "GO TO HELL BURN IN HOLY HELLFIRE!!!1!!!111eleventy-one11!"
Or, you know, reincarnation?
Actually, Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the inerrant word of His Noodleness, says that failure to believe in him will result in going to hell, where the beer volcanoes pump out stale beer and the strippers from the stripper factories all have VD. I hope that you let Him touch you with his Noodly Appendage before it's too late!
If sunday school were worth a shit, they would be teaching everyone what Pascal's wager is and why it is such a bad argument to use.
Instead, we have to deal with christ-tard after christ-tard bringing it up over and over again, thinking that they are the first fucker to ever think of it.
Apart from the PW fallacy it also occured to me that I get to lie in bed on Sunday's drinking beer. So if there is no god I've already won by not having wasted my time, if there is a god I only loose if he happens to be the sort that wants to punish me. See I'm already ahead again. Now if he does want to punish me then (given infinite punishment period) sooner or later he's going to change his mind ergo I win eventually no matter what, you loose now.
I thought your faith was supposed to be strong enough on it's own merit, but here you are, saying you're simply going for the best bet? Your omniscient god sees right through shenanigans like that you know...
No it is a big deal if athesit are right.
You've just wasted yoru entire life missing out on fun and exciting experiences all well reaching for something promised to you by a being you've put all your faith and trust into, who turns out to not even exist. That just sounds insane to me. Have fun wasting your life away.
"but if by some impossibility the atheists are right absolutely nothing happens to the christians"
But then you don't get that lovely eternity in 'Heaven', with your gem-encrusted mansions, nor your gold crowns, nor the chance to kiss God's holy heiney. All you get after you die is complete oblivion. And this simple fact:
Wormfoodsville. Population: YOU.
We accept this as a fact of life. Death. It comes to us all. With no comforting 'afterlife'. It's your 'Faith' in such that means you fundies are guaranteed to FAIL. After all, can you prove there's an 'Afterlife', without recourse to the Bible?
"So its a win-win for religion while atheists are playing a fifty-fifty"
O RLY? Why do you think we have these on our buses in the UK?:

"Good luck burning for eternity."
Unless you have a device that can create interdimensional portals (a la "Sliders"), I'm afraid you can't prove a 'Hell' exists, neither.
I pulled this argument from... somewhere. An inversion of Pascal's Wager, I haven't bothered to look at its validity.
If god exists and god is benevolent and you are a good person who disbelieves, you will be fine
For the sake of argument, let's say that there are a hundred gods claiming legitimacy. Only one of them is 'right'.
That's one chance in a hundred for any god, including yours.
So, worshiping the wrong god (99%) is much worse than not worshiping at all.
Fuck Pascal!
More like it's an automatic lose when you realize that you've wasted the only life you're certain to have kissing Gawd's ass and not actually having a meaningful, rich existence.
I also love how the original poster talks about higher beings "to punish us", as if that's primarily what they do. Sure seems that way when you take into account how dark and terrible most "gods" seem to be, despite how superior they're supposed to be.
And if Muslims are right?
Actually, according to a friend of mine, Christians would still go to heaven because they believe in the same god, but Christians believe Muslims would go to hell because they don't accept Jesus as their savior. So there is a slightly better statistical chance in that regard...right? Well, no.
I heard that if you tick off the FSM, he makes all the hookers look like your mom!
Of course, to your average fundtard, this probably isn't that much of a deterrent.
Ah, Pascal's Wager.
What if future science develops a method to defeat death and resurrect people from the past?
What will we evil scientist atheists do with this technology? Imagine a christian fundie, opening his eyes after the resurrection procedure, to be welcomed by Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens ... that must be true hell for a fundie.
I know, this is very improbable, but not impossible. Extrapolate recent progresses in genetic engineering and information science, and things might get possible that are completely unthinkable today. So this scenario is - albeit very improbable - still way much more probable than the christian religion.
False dichotomy, stupid. Christian or atheist are not the only options. There is Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Then there are the many different kinds of Christian sects, you can't all be right. The chance of guessing right, if there IS a deity, is more like one in a hundred or so.
I'll stick to not believing in sky-fairies for which there is no evidence whatsoever, and live as good a life as I can. Which to me means being respectful, kind and generous to those around me, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and having fun while I'm here.
If you are right, then God is real. If God is real then he has to be omniscient and just, because otherwise he isn't God. If God is omniscient and just then, if anything, he would condone intellectual skepticism, the unshakable pursuit of truth and the undeterrable moral courage to face even the harshest realities of existence.
On the other hand, if we are right, then you spent the ONLY life you were ever going to have, the ONLY tiny bit of time of your existence, in the pursuit of utterly meaningless lies, and what is worse; you will leave your children behind to face this world believing in the same lies as yourself, leaving them with a psychological and intellectual handicap, like a mother bird pulling out the feathers of her chicks, or a cheetah mum chewing off the feet of her cubs. You dare speak of hell? Your hell is right here, right now, and what follows for you is just eternal oblivion.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
