There was a comment I made many posts ago that pointed out that people seem to be self destructive.
Why would you choose a path (not believing) that has absolutely no chance (that's 0%) of having a positive affect after death? But by normal stats, it's 50/50 that there is a God, so if you believe, you have at least a 50% shot of being right. And if you're wrong, it's no big deal, you're worm food anyway. SO please inform me why any logical person would risk his own life a chance? If someone said to you, "you have to choose a door, and if you choose the door on the left, you will receive certain death, but the death could be painful or painless (painful would be symbolized by hell, and painless would be worm food), or you can choose the door on the right and you will receive an afterlife full of happiness or completely painless death."
Which door would you choose?
