Answer 2

They have lost the truth. We all wish to perceive the truth as it is, else what we act on is not truth but delusion, which leads us away from our human potential. After all, if you act because of delusion, you are basically hallucinating and your beliefs are rooted in falsehood. If I believed in God my whole life and died and there wasn't one, then the decisions I had made based on that "false truth" were not optimal and I could have reached a higher potential for myself and others. More time and effort could have been spent on things that actually influenced reality instead of a false hope. So what is a person to do? You want to be as correct as possible in your beliefs in things of a "divine" nature, and you don't want to go to Hell if you are wrong. The answer is simple. Use your head. Really think about your beliefs and HOW their are valid. Are they valid because it is what you where told is true or because you looked deep within yourself and found it to be true?

Answer 3

What in the flying F*CK is up with the recent influx of people who have never seen the refutations to Pascal's Wager?!?!
It's one rehashing after another.

This isn't an argument for the existence of God, it's an argument for belief in a god.

"What the believer going to lose if there is no God?"
You've wasted your entire life devoting time, effort, and emotion to a non-existent deity.

"they can face most of their problems with faith,and helps them to pass on.get married,have children,have fun in their life,and accepting death with a wide chest."
Atheists do all of the above without blind faith, and they are productive, upstanding, moral members of society. Why do you insinuate that this can only be done by Christians?

"and when they die there will be no God"
You Christians are obsessed with death, I swear.
But you basically made my argument for me, so why are you asking this question?

Answer 4

Their ethical sense, for one! (I was going to say "moral", but Christians have so perverted the term "morality" that I'll use the term "ethics" here...) Christians believe that there is nothing wrong with God roasting their next-door neighbor in Hell for all eternity just because he couldn't believe the story about a snake giving a piece of fruit to a naked lady and getting her and her hubby kicked out of Paradise... No matter how kind, benevolent, and loving a person was in life, he or she will fry in Hell if not properly baptized (no sprinkling!) into Christ... This is akin to not seeing anything wrong with child molestation! Some things are wrong even for God to do... in fact, ESPECIALLY for God to do, since He's supposed to be all-good, all-merciful, all-just, etc... By accepting eternal Hell as "fair" for non-believers, the Christian has sold his soul to evil, whether he knows it or not... Of course, Christians are wrong on a lot of other ethical issues, too, but this is the most important one!

Answer 5

My answer for Christians would be that what if only the O.T. is right and you've been worshiping a false idol (jesus) this whole time. That's number one on God's "pisses me off" list. So the answer would eternal damnation.

But yeah a lifetime in delusion like someone else said would be pretty bad.

My theory is just live your live good, be good to others, and no matter what you believe in something tells me if you do that you're not going to spend eternity in "hell."

Answer 6

If a non believer were to believe in God because of the Pascals wager and there is no God they miss out on: Time you couldve spent doing other things, including helping people that need it.

Answer 7

They have wasted a lot of time believing in supersitious nonsense. They have also probably held up cures for major diseases (by opposing stem cell research), inflicted misery on women (by trying to restrict the right to choose to have an abortion and by trying to limit sex education), and kept our children at substandard levels of education (by trying to discredit evolution and trying to teach Intelligent Design which is not even close to science).

So, the believer may not lose, but the rest of us do.

Answer 8

Probably nothing much. If it makes you happy and helps guide you to lead a good life then I'm all for it.

But, consider this, what if you believe in god "X" and you die and you meet god "Y" who is the real boss of the universe and he is jealous?

According to www.godchecker.com there are some 2,850 gods in the world today. That makes your odds about 0.003%.

Answer 9

Seriously what do you have to lose by dying in Battle, just in case Valhalla is real? What did you really lose if there is no Valhalla?
What about Ixchel? What about Ahura Mazda? Apollo? Are you really willing to risk that they might not be there?

And do you really think god is not going to notice someone "covering their bases"?
