Your post was reasonable and then it descended into this trite. I was going to respond, now I'm not going to bother.

You are right I should have said that Atheism is illogical and irrational. At the very least it is a very risky position to take. Similar to playing 72 offsuit. The reason it leaves no chance to be wrong. If you believe in nothing you either get nothing or hell if you are wrong. If I believe in ANY religion that advocates eternal life I have a better chance mathmatically of living forever in "heaven" than someone who doesn't believe in anything.

This falsely assumes that "god" requires your belief in him as a prerequisite for admittance into heaven. Taken to its extreme this position is ridiculous and untenable. An atheist who devotes his life to helping the poor, but never *ahem* "accepts jesus" will ALWAYS go to hell. Where as a serial killer who sincerely asks for forgiveness before death will still be admitted to heaven?
