Hey Atheists- When you can explain to me what I’ve lost by acceptign a FREE gift from God that will have eternal consequences for my soul, and when you can detail exactly how denying God is a more sure bet in the face of the uncertain prospect of eternity, then Yall come on back- till then- Keep your moronic reasoning to yourself.

Pascal's Wager again? It implies that the only alternative to Atheism is Catholicism (since Judaism is not a salvational religion) and that belief is something one can just choose to do.

Funny thing is....everyone has a religion. Some have a religion where the God is beyond themselves. Others have a religion which is themselves.

That all religions cannot simultaneously be true does not reflexively mean that they are then all false.

One thing that has been consistently true is that people tend to make poorer decisions when they make them in a highly emotional climate.

If Dawkins is full of rage, I am not inclined to trust that is is his intellect that is being vented. In a rage, it is usually a spleen that is being vented.

no- the only alternative to life in hell is salvation through Jesus Christ- JUST as God describes in His word- call it a wager if you will, but it boils down to either accepting what God states or not- We’re free to choose one way or the other. Besides, enough folks (2 billion + or so) have given testimony to the fact that God has a personal relationship with those who take the leap of faith and that the Holy Spirit confirms salvation. What’s not to like about the odds? Remember, the payoff is for eternity- this aint no fly by night temporary payoff like so many gambles we willingly engage in every day are- this is for ever.
