Re: beat: softest table i\'ve ever encountered and all were bible-humpe
If there were just one choice for a god, I'd agree with you, but given that we have thousands of different religions and the possibility that choosing the wrong one will just piss off the other, true god, I don't know what to think. I'm inclined to believe that the true god would react more favorably in the afterlife to someone who just didn't believe in anything than someone who actively believed in the false god (bastard!). therefore, we should hedge our bets by not believing in anything.

Someone should do it and let me know the result. I'll convert with you. I trust that god would not let someone lie to me about such an important matter. |

[ QUOTE ] I say very very slightly more so, because in the very unlikely scenario where there is a god, and it actually does care whether we, as humans, believe that it exists or not (which I believe to be much more unlikely that it *DOES* care than it exists), it is very very slightly higher EV to believe there is a god. Also, it's 5:30 AM here, so my brain isn't really working.
