"But presumably you do approve of people getting an eternity of torment for making a mistake about which Holy Work to believe?"

I believe. It is not my place to approve or disapprove of Gods will. If I'm right by believing, eternal life. If I'm wrong, dust.
If your right, dust. If your wrong, an eternity in hell.
It just makes more sense to believe than not to believe.

So your belief in Christ is really just hedging your bets for a decent afterlife? You're not a Christian because it is the right thing, but only expedient?

False dichotomy fallacy. You may suffer for choosing the wrong deity.It just makes more sense to believe than not to believe.

This is also a false dichotomy fallacy. You are erroneously assuming that those who accept evolution universally "do not believe." This is not true. You also omit the possibility that there exists a deity who punishes unbelief less harshly (if at all) than "wrong" belief.

Don't give me that. 99+% of everyone who has ever lived is going to writhe in torment for eternity, and you're saying its not your place to have an opinion on the matter? Do you have a moral sense ectomy when you enter a fundamentalist church? How can anyone not have an opinion about something like that?

If I'm right by believing, eternal life. If I'm wrong, dust. If your right, dust. If your wrong, an eternity in hell. It just makes more sense to believe than not to believe.

Some of the many fallacies inherent in Pascal's Wager have already been pointed out to you. I'll add that Pascal's Wager assumes that to believe or not believe is a matter of personal choice, which is nonsense. Belief cannot be chosen.

Ah, but what? that is the question. Considering the number of available creeds, the chances that you were born in the right place and time to believe the right creed are nil.

You have only your own personal interpretation of the Bible...millions of people have a completely different personal interpretation of the Bible...can you say that you are absolutely correct on single aspect from the Bible?...or do you not, admit, that as a human being, you can be mistaken on some points regarding the Bible..

Millions of people can and do support evolution and maintain a loving relationship with Christ...you dont know them, you dont know of their relationship, and you certainly cannot project what will happen to them, if they chose to interpret the Bible differently from you...

People pray, they ask for guidance, they study the Bible, they question, they investigate, they discuss, and eventually, they come to what they believe to be the truth of what the Bible is saying...and they may come to a completely different view from yours, regarding evolution and creation...
