I wish I had a penny for every time someone presented faith to me as a fool’s bet.
Here’s their basic argument:
If you believe and there is no god, there is no negative consequence
But if you don’t believe and it turns out there is a god you are going to hell.
When presented like this - belief seems to make sense.
Of course, this assumes that believing things that aren’t true is harmless.
And that’s a pretty big assumption.
Because, let’s face it: it ain’t the stuff we know that gets us into trouble.
It’s the stuff we know that just ain’t so that causes all the mischief.
