Anyway

Master atheist

   A London lady sat next to Bertrand Russel at this party, and over the soup, she
suggested to him that he was not only the world's most famous atheist
but, by this time, very probably the world's oldest atheist.

"What will
you do, Bertie, if it turns out, you're wrong?" she asked. "I mean, what
if -- uh -- when the time comes, you should meet Him? What will you
say?"

Russell was delighted with the question. His bright, birdlike eyes
grew even brighter as he contemplated this possible future dialogue,
and then he pointed a finger upward and cried, "Why, I should say, 'God, there was just not enough evidence.'"

Ashame on you Mullahs

I am wondering how stuip people you are,and thinking the rest are like all of you dam MUllahs, look for a place to hide.

Time is coming.Mullahs 

Not so fast haji! :-)

           It is indeed Pascal's wager akhoond version! I suspect Pascal has learned by now that he lost his wager! :-)

          One issue with this typically simple minded argument forwarded by akhoond is that the choice may not be limited to NO vs YES!

           What if Jews or Hindus got it right? Then you lose whether believing or not believing in Islamic hell!

          In other words there are many versions of hells out there which one you have to believe in?! Each hell requires its own rituals inorder to avoid. Certainly praying to Mecca is not going to save you from Christianity's hell, if that was the truth!

        I'd say to Mulla that the hell you are scared of is here and now! after your brain (you got one?!) stop flickering you won't feel a thing no more! :-)

Mollah steals from french, "Pascal's Wager"

This is an idiot, talking to dumber idiots. Since Iran is a closed society, this idiot knows that the sheep he is talking to, don't know about the rest of the world and in this case, French philosophers like one named Blaise Pascal, who originally posed what this shit thinks is his idea.

His smile betrays the evil in his theft of Pascal.

The Pascal Wager is the suggestion that even if god exists, believing in him is a safer bet than not believing in him.

The bet is this if God does not exist you did not lose anything. If he does, you win everything. So a reasonable person would have to bet on god existing.

All religions use this same con to establish their control over the flock dumb enough to listen.

The real answer if you are brave enough to go up against this kind of faith-full person (which is a scary thing to do, especially if the other person has the propensity to snap) is this;

You say,

"Since there are many religions that each believe in their version and variation of one God, and since we don't know which religion is the one true one, we have to no choice but to NOT believe in ANY religion and just be good, kind, and moral people just in case, as you say, there is a God, who will then accept us because we are good."

This is a simplistic stolen proposition by a retarded thieving mollah who thinks no one else knows is a common mainstream philosophical exercise.

The answer to "What do you have to lose?" is "Yes, a smart bet is to believe in God vs not believing in God, but it is a very stupid bet to believe in any single religion. But the smartest bet of all is to believe in no religion, and believe in God."

Because the odds are far more in your favor.

well-said arj. now, i see

well-said arj. now, i see how the mullahs conduct cost-benefit analysis.  he enumerated some of the costs of prayers (and following islamic teachings) but then said the sum of the costs are "hech" (with khomeini's accent).  and the benefit? as you said, it is benefit of doubt.  with this type of cost-benefit mentality, no wonder iran is such dire economic state.

Be Ashamed of Yourself!

"CONVEY [unto others] whatever of this book has been revealed to you, and be constant in prayer: for, behold, the prayer restrains [man] from loathsome deeds and from all that runs counter to reason; and the GOD's remembrance is indeed the greatest (good thing in life). And GOD knows all that you do. (Ghoron 29:45)"

Only & only psychos try to relate the prayer with '70 Virgins' or the 'Self ......' On the other hand, fools like the speaker on the video compare that with an 'aspirin' or 'the tire's jack!' HOW SHAMEFUL OF BOTH CROWDS!

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. John Bunyan

Benefit of the doubt!

This tells volumes about the desperate state of religious crookery that from a position of threatening with "absolute justice," they're now reduced to settling for the benefit of the doubt! 

7 virgins???

Hey man...

We are short-changed. ... we need 65 more...i hate cheaters maan! 

Big dude promised us 72 and i want my 72 . dammit. 

What, no guaranty there is Haven?

Well, in that case I am going back to my five times of masturbating per day than Namaz. At least I get some satisfaction in this world. Hum, and I was counting on those seven virgins.
