If there is NO God, and one believes in Him, then all one has lost is time on earth to behave as one would like. But, if there IS God, and one behaves as though there is none, then he'll have Hell to pay.


Do you think we can pull a fast one on God, as if He isn't going to know you "believe" in Him only to hedge your bet against spending eternity in Hell.


No, I do not believe one can pull a fast one on God. Sorry if I made it look like you might get off easy.


So doesn't that destroy your above argument as a reason to believe in Him. That is, you should only believe in Him because you truly do.


I never made the argument that you suggest. You are having comprehension issues again. I can see what I said, and what I said and what you think I said are not the same.

Take another look at your argument (it's at the top of this post). It is an appeal to reason, not faith. You are trying to convince people to believe in God based on a logical argument - not on the basis of what they believe in their heart or soul. I don't think that is what you desired, and if I'm correct, you should withdraw the argument.
