To be blunt, I think you're asking stupid questions and putting them to the wrong people. Imagine going into a conservative forum, like this one, and asking "but what if liberalism really is true? Gosh, then what? What if the Marxists are right? What if the 9/11 attacks were justified?? Then what?" It comes off as stupid and offensive, just like your "what if muslims are right?" questions. Muslims are not right. Muslim beliefs are not right. Blowing up America is not right. You know this. So stop it.

Again, it was strictly in the context of Pascal's Wager, and was simply used to illustrate the weakness of it. If it makes you more comfortable, feel free to replace Islam with Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Shinto, etc.; the point still stands.

If Christianity is not equivalent to Islam in every other context, why should they be equivalent "in the context of Pascal's Wager"?

the point still stands.

Hey everyone! I'm an atheist and I have a point to make. But first, everyone must assume something really really ludicrous, which I myself do not believe in any context, for the sake of argument. And that is, Islam is true. Muslims really are right! Imagine that right now, the terrorists who killed 3000 americans really are feasting in heaven with 72 virgins each, most of all Bin Laden, who has 73. Gosh! What if they are right? We've been wasting our time living as patriotic americans! Especially the Christian ones. See, my point still stands! And while you're at it, imagine that leftism and communism are true! See? It's just as much of a waste of time to be a conservative -- my point still stands even more!
