Why would you assume I was implying he/she was a Hindu. The profile states he/she is an Atheist. Please to not try to make things up as you go along. Trust me, if I am going to accuse someone of something I will state it straight up. Since you did not seem to get the point of my statement, this is what it was pointing out. As a Christian, one of the beliefs is there is an eternity we will live in with G-d after this life if a person believes. In order to obtain this wonderful promise one has to be a believer in Christ Jesus and live a good, fruitful, as well as caring life here on earth. Most of all trust in the Grace of G-d because of what Jesus did for us on the cross.

I know that's what Christians believe. My point, which you appear to have missed, is that how do you know your belief is right? There are many, many religions on earth. For Pascal's wager (and that's essentially what you were stating), to make any sense, there has to be one, and only one set of possibilities: a Christian God or no God. All other Gods are omitted, on what basis I do not know. I realize your belief is in the Christian God.

Now if that isn't straight forward enough, then I can't help you any further. :)

I'm beyond help. Just ask my wife.

Actually, for Pascal, it was a Christian God in communion with the Bishop of Rome.
