Marion BS: One compelling reason for a god? (353* d) RE: BS: One compelling reason for a god? 03 Apr 07


If you meant, "What evidence is there that would convince me that there is a God?", well, that depends on you, not on the evidence.

That's a great line, Little Hawk, and I may have to borrow it sometime. You've made the point I was trying to make very succinctly.

When I was a devout Christian, back in the day, I hated the idea of Pascal's wager. Two reasons:

1. It seems so cynical; anyone who did feel inspired to adopt a religion by this argument couldn't really be genuine in that religion.

2. It assumes that if you believe in God/religion and it turns out to be false, that's OK cause it didn't cost you anything. But if you're doing Christianity right, it DOES cost you.
