A twist of Pascals wager for Christians and Muslims.
If you are right, you die and go to heaven and all unbelievers go to Hell, but what if Islam is right? Then they all go to ehaven and you go to Hell.
vise versa
Which do you pick?

Tuflady, show me evidence of all of those things outside of the Bible. To me, the Bible is about as trustworth as a Dr. Suess book.

I pick Jesus.
He is the only one who was born of a virgin
Who lived on earth without sin
Who suffered and died for my sins
Who was raised again to Life afterword
Who sits in Heaven at the Right hand of God
Who is called the Son.
Who showed me in my life that he is real and the others are false....
SHALL I KEEP GOING?
Edit: I can't show you proof any more than I can show you proof of what He did in my life, but I KNOW what He has done, so I have no reason to question Him....I asked Him to show me that He is real and He did....Have you???

Just like Pascal's, it's a false dichotomy.
As far as I'm concerned, I just try to live a good life and don't worry about religion.
If there's a god who would (regardless of whether I've lead a good life) punish me for not choosing the right religion, or not worshipping his holy insecurities, or not sitting around praying (aka, doing nothing productive) enough... well, that god is so messed up that he's likely to punish everyone anyway.

Right, pascal's wager is faulty for multiple reasons. Another reason why it doesn't work is because no god would care if someone pretended to believe...that's pretty much what the wager asks someone to do, to pretend just to be on the safe side.

How would you define death?
Two types, physical, and then there's change.
Everyone goes through Hell until you learn to cross the sea.
The answer would be neither.

It's all so silly really. There is no heaven to go to.
