    I honestly don't see why people debate the existence of God or not. It's strictly game theory.

    See above for the eternal effect on one's soul. There is absolutely no downside to believing in God long term. None.

    Now, one can debate whether how one behaves on earth is a determinant on Judgement Day - but that requires an admission of God's existence.

    Tugtards aren't REAL Christians though

    Pascal's wager is the theological version of "I'm just here so I don't get fined."

    It's a lousy reason to adopt a belief system.

    I didn't say it was a reason to adopt a belief system.

    I said it was stupid to argue the existence of God and there was no downside to it.

    You can believe in whatever deity you'd like.

    You can also hold no belief in any deity whatsoever.

    You said there is no downside to belief and presented Pascal's wager. I disagree and think there is an inherent downside to adopting a belief simply to avoid punishment.

    It is stupid to debate the existence or nonexistence of God. Agreed. It is inherently impossible to prove beliefs.

    I’m agnostic. That means to me that I’m not sure because I’m analytical but I don’t disparage those who believe in a god.

    Atheists are the worst. So certain on their own anti-religion and they just sound sad and stupid to me. Always with the anger, these people.

    Now do communism or the green gaia religion. You believe in a unicorn economic system freed from the market place. St. Fow Chee ring a bell?
