When we think we’re humble – we’re not.

I actually think that's a bit inaccurate.
If you had someone who led a humble life, and realized it, it wouldn't stop him from being humble.
However, someone claiming to be humble is almost certainly not humble. Does that make sense?

dude, you have contradicted almost every gospel that's been posted, either you are the blood brother of lord3angel or you just love controversy.

I do not! I just provide my own view on things.
More often than not, I agree with the food for thought.

Or were you talking about Hellstromm/Adelei Niska/John Rose/someone else I've forgotten?

Sister angelaiah, its been quite a while.. brother blondie14, thank you.
Brother celxius, ne simply must continue being humble, without thinking that he is. Let others notice such humility in you, one must not notice it in himself; or no longer shall it be being humble. :cool:

Well, reading from Wikipedia for Dummies:
Alexbot said:
People must make a bet.
If God existed, and the person believed in god, she would be rewarded (with happiness forever).
If the person did not believe, she would be punished (with eternal damnation).
If God did not exist, it would make no difference.
For this reason, it would be better to believe in God.

So basically, believing in God is the right thing to do, simply because you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, right?

Wrong.

The bet assumes there is but one god to believe in.
You can't hedge your bets with several mutually exclusive "truths" which offers a path to eternal salvation.
Logic dictates that they can not all be true, and there is no evidence to support that any of them are.

If you still don't get it, I'll be happy to simplify it further.

Why are we talking about gambling, anyway?

Anyway, even if there were several options to bet on (which there are), you'd be better to bet on a result that gives you something in return should you win.
You'd be better to bet on religion being true, because that's the only option that earns you a prize in return.
If you bet on it being false, and win, you get nothing anyway.
So, bet on it being true, and just hope.

Then you wouldn't truly believe, you'd be attempting to cheat.
I would think an omnipotent "GOD" would see right through that and punish you duly, unless he only requires you to worship him and his ego.

You also fail to include the factors of faith such as restrictions of freedom.
A good muslim and jew do not eat pork to mention one restriction.

...and bacon is damn good! ;)

Thus placing the bet will confine you within the doctrine of the religion and offer nothing substantial nor certain in return.
Still think it is a good bet?

If I and those sharing my opinions are right then those whom place the bet have missed out on a lot life has to offer.
Nothing but this one life we live now is certain, so why squander it with worship and illogical restrictions?

Another part of it, which I like to point out, is that if you're going into a religion because it's better to go for that instead of possibly being wrong and going to hell, you're not acting because you have faith, or because you love your creator, you're acting because you're trying to save your ass --- and, ultimately, it's an act.

You're looking at it from the, "well if I don't believe and I'm right, nothing happens. If I don't believe and I'm wrong, I go to Hell. If I do believe and I'm right, I go to Heaven. If I do believe and I'm wrong, nothing happens. So, it's either nothing or bad if I don't believe, or nothing or good if I do believe." That is the bad wager right there, because the truth is, by making that a wager, you demonstrate that you don't believe, and instead you're choosing what looks to be the better bet. The failure in thinking here is, as soon as you place that bet, you lost.

truly there is no burning hell, there is only Sheol, the place to which you are going.
