      I'm not asking what you believe. I'm saying according to the world's religions over time, are there mutually exclusive gods? The answer is yes. Therefore, there is this flaw with Pascal's gambit and besides that, there were other things I mentioned.

        a dumb and pretentious pile of molecules.

        He gave/gives ample evidence for the humble to see and rejoyce and hope.

        as to you, a fugitive glimpse of His glory would have you lose your sanity.

        at the very best you would end up as lost as this poor fellow.


        be grateful and enjoy the truman show's island. your pride and cowardice will keep you there.

          Not if you're referring to the major religions.

            Is a religion not worth considering if it is not "major"?

              I think the major religions were created out of historical events which is why they have a greater recognition among the populous where the non-major are just sects or ideas born from individuals.

                if one comes with the hope of a reward or the fear of a punishment, one will not find God

                  No one creates a "major" religion. They all start in small sects.

                    And since when is the veracity of something measured by the number of people who believe it to be true?

                      Small sects wouldn't be able to gather a large following without a convincing campaign. Scientology for example didn't have any historical events associated with it. There was no awakening or life changing event that created it.
