I might be coming from a completely different direction than most, but I do find this argument interesting and maybe you wish to touch on it.
When figuring out whether or not we just evolved or were created, I think, well if we really are only dust then why would killing be wrong. It's just taking dust and making more dust. Why bother with any sort of law or truth?
And to those who do no not believe in a God or a hell or any sort of absolute truth I often think about the following.
There are two options.
I could be wrong and there is no God and there is no afterlife and everything ends after our last breath
Or I could be right and there is a heaven and hell and consequences for our actions.
I guess I feel that if I am wrong then I will have lived a life that helped a lot of people and made a long term impact on the world. But if I am right it has eternal consequences.
I no longer gamble but I like the odds where if I am wrong I lose nothing and if I am right I gain everything.
I'm sure I will receive some comments that attempt to refute this, but I think it is an interesting talking point and am happy to respectfully discuss it.
I like this way of thinking. Sometimes I have phrased it this way:
If a believer is wrong, she will never know.
If a believer is right, she will reap a great eternal reward.
If an unbeliever is right, he will never know.
If an unbeliever is wrong, he will reap a great eternal disaster.
Now, assign whatever probabilities you like to the proposition of who is right or wrong...
Then compute the expected value of taking one of these positions.
For the believer it is always positive.
For the unbeliever it is always negative.
Absolutely. And when I share my faith it is not in a way to be morally superior, but because I do care where people may end up eternally. It would actually be more unloving to never ever share my faith. But it is not my job to try to force someone to believe, but plant a seed of thought.
I enjoy learning about all faiths and respect many different thoughts and beliefs, but feel certain religions receive a terrible reputation based on the actions of a select few.
