[Viking2002]

It's like I've always said: let's suppose, for one moment, that I believe in God, but you don't. And 40 years from now, we both drop dead in our tracks simultaneously. If you're right, then I'm nothing more than a bug condo under two yards of dirt. Trouble with that is, you won't be here to rub my nose in it, and I won't be here to admit I was being silly. However, if I'm right and you're wrong, then you got some quick 'splaining to do to someone who's heard it all before.

Now, you really wanna keep walking around and acting like a horse's ass? Be my guest.

This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr. Clever Guy in these parts..."
