This is usually followed by some version of Pascal's wager.

No chance at all.

Nope.

I have been and will continue to be wrong about a great many things

What if I am wrong about what? How could any religion be true when there are so many of them? For it to be true it would mean that only YOU had the right religion. Does that seem logical or even likely? I studied for the ministry and today my belief in gods is about the same as the Easter Bunny. For those who want to scare me with hellfire, please understand that when I die I am going to be cremated. Gods are imaginary.

If there is a god, there are several thousand to choose from. Best you know for a fact that you pick the right one, otherwise you will never obtain forgiveness. [godchecker.com]

Bah Humbug!

That question should be directed at believers

Not a for a second.
Too much scientific evidence disproves every religious myth

How would we know if we were wrong?

no

God is a made up human word..animals don't know of such things..look at whales and elephants their brains are huge..l do believe they're smarter than us even though they don't speak human..we've yet to find evidence they worship...anything.

I 've got to quote bill Maher on this one"BUT I'M NOT WRONG!" religion of all manner is bogus as far as coming from a divine source. It is strictly human doctrine.

Yes, l have..but then l look around the world and all the horrible things happening and how man is the one destroying everything, especially the very planet we live on and think no god would let us continue in this fashion..l firmly believe were the parasites killing our host.

The wager is widely considered one of the weakest arguments for a religion. It incorrectly poses the outcome of the wager as having only two possible outcomes. In fact, there is an infinite set of possible outcomes, as there are an infinite set of possible gods which can be divided into a plethora of infinite subsets. One subset of gods might not have an afterlife, another might accept anybody into an afterlife, another might have criteria that disqualify all human beings. Your chance of picking the right god is actually 1/?, otherwise known as zero.

Not since my final few years as a JW. I understand wanting to hedge your bets, especially after investing many years in a futile attempt to secure your seat in a paradise fantasy afterlife. I hated to throw in the towel until it occurred to me that IF they were right and I stuck with it, I would have to live forever amongst this self-righteous, boring, mysogenistic group. Realizing I could choose to live the rest of my life free to find my own truth and experience some authentic joy, or I could sacrifice the balance of my life to the vague promises of future rewards held out by this depressing cult, I took a deep breath and ran for my life. 40 years later and despite the shunning I endure, I never regret or question my choice.

Certainly. I hope I am. I want to give that sucker a piece of my mind.

Considering the numerous religions and add on the numerous denominations of religions all of which play by the rule that they are right and all others are wrong the odds that any one religion is right are astronomical. The odds that a person actually picks the one religion that may be true is also astronomical. So it's less "what if I'm wrong?" and more "why does everyone assume their right?".

Not sincerely. “Everybody Is Wrong About God” establishes a compelling argument that I haven’t been able to dismiss, but Jesus and other gods I’ve not been convinced of.

No. I'm perhaps a little cynical and think just wait until those believers die, they'll see!

Not much anymore but i have that .01 % cuz anything and everything could be all FUCKED UP!!

Probably only about as much as most believers ask themselves the same thing, acknowledging the wide range of belief systems out there. That is, not at all. It's just not something I view as worth worrying about. The fear of condemnation after death is a weak basis on which to force oneself into a belief system, and even then, again, I'd point to the wide variety out there, so I'd still have to have those concerns anyway. If there were a god, and they would condemn someone for living a good life while simply not believing, that wouldn't be a god I wanted to follow anyway. So, I guess it all works out.

I believe in Eric, so I can't be wrong.

I want my Tombstone to read.." if there is a god I'll be back"

If we're wrong, then god has some splainin' to do as to why he hasn't made himself known to the rank and file. Moreover, he better 'splain why he allows so much suffering in his name.
