Unless he's a nasty bastard who decides to inflict painful cancer on you
and then you die while not in a state of grace and go to hell. You lose
big time and you believed for nothing.
2. You believe in God but he doesn't exist. Outcome: you haven't lost much.
Except that you wasted your life going to church and following a bunch of
largely man made rules that often make little sense. I consider this a
small loss on your part.
3. You don't believe in God and he doesn't exist. Outcome: a draw.
No, this is a win for you. You get to live your life as YOU wish, and then
you die.
4. You don't believe in God and he exists. Outcome: You lose big time.
Unless he really is total love as the bible suggests. Then you get to live
life the way you choose and he forgives you and you get into heaven. Now
that would be a nice win.
And you're forgetting:
5. You believe in god, and live your life by his rules, but when you die,
it turns you worshipped the wrong god, and the one you meet kicks you into
hell because you didn't follow him.
6. You believe in god just to cover your ass (they way most people
do.) He exists, you die, and he says "Sorry, CYA actions aren't
covered. You go to hell."
