David Fitzgerald, Atheist, if you are right and we are wrong, what have we lost? But if we are right and you are wrong, what have YOU lost?
I ask that question to the atheists I run into, and they just stare at me with a vacuous look.
What if Zeus is the real God and he is really, really mad at Christians for usurping his religion?
What if the Mormons are right? Then if you follow them you get to be God of your own planet. How cool is that? Beats sitting on cloud playing a harp. I guess you better believe in Joseph Smith just in case.
The problem with that argument is that there are many ways to be wrong.
What if the Muslims are right? Then Christians are damned.
What if some small sect is right, like the Jehovah’s Witnesses? Then the rest of us are damned.
At least if the Hindus are right, we get a do-over. And if the Mormons are right, at least we go to heaven even we don’t get to be gods.
He’ll find out.
