they are betting their souls
"If you believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you have lost nothing -- but if you don't believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you will go to hell. Therefore it is foolish to be an atheist." Paraphrase of Pascal's Wager.

Well to prove there is a God, I'll have to die, so since one way or the other I can't take it with me I bet all my material possessions and money there is no God vs. your spirit that you have put up.

I wouldn't think such a religious man would be up for gambling, especially making light of the existance of what you percieve as your god.
Personally, I don't like to gamble, even if it's a sure thing. But I'd be on the side of the table with the atheists.

I bet the Old Man would be real pleased that you're gambling on His existence.

By definition hasn't an atheist already bet his soul on whether God exists or not?
What does he have left of more value to bet with?

Interesting, I thought gambling was a 'sin'.
I have better uses for my money and time than what you have proposed. I know there is no empirical proof of any deity and I don't need to drain my bank account to prove that.

Apparently I am betting my immortal soul on it.
But I believe it is a safe bet.

Techincally I am already betting my soul an eternal future aren't I?
That should prove how confident I am.

I'd bet all your stuff as well, then if I was wrong, you'd still end up winning right?
