Why would you risk something as terrible as hell when you can believe in god? It's a win-win situation.
God exists: Heaven God doesn't exist: you lived a good life |

I've been saying this for such a long time.
But most are narcissists who can't admit there's someone infinitely greater than them... |

| Now, which religion are you referring to? How do you know that the Christian god isn't the real god? |

| That wasn't my point. I'm just giving a scenario. At least. Don't take the risk. |

How do you know there is a God at all?
OH WAIT, YOU DON'T
It's called Faith. |

| If a god existed, we wouldn't know which god it was. So by believing in Christianity, you're taking a risk. Christianity might not be real, maybe another religion is real. Or maybe all religions are myths. We're all taking risks when it comes to faith, aren't we? |

| Hell isn't part of every religion. Personally, I don't believe that it exists even though I'm a Rastafarian. Since Hell isn't part of every religion, let's use Christianity as an example. Somewhere in the world, there is a group of people who have NEVER heard of Christianity. Therefore, they can't necessarily follow it. What happens to them? Are they damned to Hell by a loving and forgiving god? |

| I find Christianity and a bunch of other religions unfathomable, and that's why I can't believe. |

@op nice pascal's wager you have there. What if your wrong, and the Hindus are right? What if your wrong and the Mormons are right? What if your wrong and the Muslim radicals are right? I can go on and on and on. But, I choose not to. Because, you can't answer right and keep any religion. Agonstic Atheist here. |

>Millions of religions, each confident that there god is the one true god.
--True statement. Therefore, by picking one religion, YOU are risking the "punishments" or other beliefs. |

FALSE
According to The Gospel of St. Luke, Heaven is not a place, no resides in one man or one group of men, it exists in everyone because we have the power to decide our own destiny. |

If you're referring to my comment as false:
Different people have different beliefs. If they are correct in saying that there is a right or wrong "answer," then the other beliefs are still "at risk." |

| It seems people are trying to "use religion" to get into heaven. Shouldn't you be awarded it for being good in the first place rather then just doing it to "get somewhere". |

--Yes, because apparently religious people can express their opinions about religion, but non-religious people can't.
"I BELIEVE IN GOD!" (Good for you!)
"I DON"T BELIEVE IN GOD!" (Shut up!) |

At least take one religion, your chances of hell will drastically reduce. |

Thepitt, you are incredibly dishonorable.
Having a religion just because you want a better chance of getting into heaven, you are a spineless, pathetic excuse for a human being. |
