Who said that you need a god or goddess to believe things matter? Sounds like a crutch or a control.Why would anyone pass that up?
It's not for everyone, Bode. There are 2 types of people here on earth. Those who rely on the Lord, and those who think it wise to rely on their own understanding. There are those who believe and those who do not.
Pascal's wager isn't why I believe. I believe because I see what happens to those who don't.
Here's the thing, if I believe, and am wrong, I have risked nothing. When I die I simply cease to exist.
But, if I don't believe and I am wrong, I forfeit everything, for eternity.
If I were to trust myself, I would hope that I was smart enough to weigh the odds, and decide that it is in my best interest to believe in higher power!
