That's called Pascals wager, which I've already debunked earlier on this thread. At the very least Christians do loose something if there is no God. They lost 10% of their wages, and didn't get to sleep in on Sunday. [/quote] Some believe that Atheists...along with those who are not disciples of Jesus...will likely lose a whole lot more than 'that' if and when they find out that there is a God...and there is a Jesus...and what He said about Himselff is true. [/quote]
And what do you loose if you get the the pearly gates and you are greeted by Joseph Smith, or Muhammad, or one of the other thousands of gods that have existed?
As you can see, Pascals Wager is also a false dichotomy wrapped in a threat. [/quote]
we're steadily narrowing down the numbers though. the Greeks had about 100 until the successful input of the early Xtians reduced it down to 3. that's quite an accomplishment right there, I'm sure you will agree.[/quote]
Gus, what you've just demonstrated is that gods are a man made construct, and they evolve and change as we do.
As for there only being 3 God, there are still 5 major religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, with many offshoot of each of the above. [/quote]
yeah, true. but I was thinking of the Christian trinity of gods reducing the number of Athenian gods down to three from over one hundred. we still have to deal with the multiple gods of the Hindus. I kinda like Lord Ganesha myself. but, also, Buddha sects and Muslim sects. the Judastic God seems to be on the verge of leaving out? so, if that happens, there'll be one less of'em.
