Quote:
Christian:
50% chance of a happy eternal life - Happy afterlife
50% chance of nothing after death - Unhappy afterlife
Athiest:
50% chance of burning in Hell for all eternity - Unhappy afterlife
50% chance of nothing after death - Unahppy afterlife
Conclusions:
1. It's mathmatically safer to believe in God. Think of it as an insurance policy.
2. Athiests have a 0% chance of a happy afterlife - no wonder they are always so cranky and arguementative.

This argument implies that one should believe in God for fear of punishment. If you believe in God because you fear Him, is your faith really genuine? Should faith and morality be based on fear rather than a deep-rooted love for God? This "insurance policy" seems to me a poor reason to believe in God. One cannot simply "choose" to believe in God upon learning the consequences of disbelief; it takes a much greater motivation than fear.
Also, your understanding of the theory of evolution is almost as bad as your poorly thought out "reasons to believe in God."
