Hi everyone,
I think I've found a perfect compromise ...HOPE that a God Exists!!...blah blah blah...This realization could be very valuable to the Atheist or Agnostic, who wishes to play and benefit from Pascal's wager.

Except that it woudln't really as you would have to "hope" that all gods that have ever been conjured up by humans over the millenia exost too: Everything from Amun-Ra to Quetzalcoatl to Thor to Zeus and every "god" in between. It always amuses me how this logical conclusion of Pascal's Wager is what makes it bollocks and also how this is never fully appreciated by the faith-head that proposes it because they simply cannot imagine reality being any other way other than the way their other faith-head friends and priests say it is.
I for one might even hope that something like Quetzalcoatl actually did exist just so the confused look on your little face could be seen as you gaze up at this flying feathered serpent bleeting and wimpering about jeebus.
Imagination fail. Logic fail.
