UGH. Pascal's lame wager. Aren't you tired of flogging that dead horse? I have also read the bible, and contradictions aside, it's just stories plagiarized from religions in surrounding areas and cobbled together so one group of uptight tribal elders could use fear and shame to subjugate their people. If you're going to cherry-pick bible quotes, read Luke 6:29-30, then tell me when would be a good time for me to swing by so you can give me your car....

I've read the bible, probably more than most christians. Reading the bible has helped me to become an atheist, thank you very much. I have also studied philosophy and am well aware of Pascal's Wager. Perhaps you'd like to read about that? You can look it up in Wikipedia easily enough. Your god doesn't answer your prayers and satan doesn't get excited when you read your bible. Nothing happens. Not a thing, except you've wasted your time filling your head with the insane ramblings of misanthropic bronze aged men.

Sirleetees,It takes Faith to please GOD,as amatter of fcat you can't please GOD without it(HEBREWS 11:6).I'm just aasking you to try JESUS?,it can't hurt you,and if nothing happens,then you've lost nothing.Please if you want to know if GOD lives,just pick up the Biblem,read it and when you do read it aloud to yourself or somebody.Watch satan tell you not to do it,that it's silly,or he'll try to make you ashamed to read GOD'S word.Ask yourself why all of a sudden is satan getting excited,and talking to you.Because he knows well what Faith can and will and has done to him.Just try it by yourself in private if you want,but watch the changes in your life,and then tell someone like I told you. Sirleetees,try it no one has to know but you and GOD. PRAISE GOD. blessable
