No it still sounds pretty ludicrous.

Seriously, if your belief system is based on something above and beyond, how can you just "choose" to believe one thing and not another? Is it whatever is convenient to your lifestyle? Sounds pretty broken to me.

Because these "things" are up to interpretation, and often from different sources. Like people have said, for instance, Jesus never says anything about homosexuality.

It's pretty simple to understand how this happens and is not at all "ludicrous."

There is definitely room for interpretation. Diehard Christians argue about interp issues all the time without being any less diehard for it.

But textual interpretation only goes so far before it becomes distortion. If you believe that 90% of the Bible is allegory/fable, I think it's intellectually dishonest to continue to call that Christianity. Same thing if you want to cut out the supernatural elements and just have a philosophy about how to live one's life. You can call it something else! That's okay!

Like maybe you think Jesus was a good dude with a lot of insights into societal reform, and you'd like to live by the principles he espoused during his life, but you don't believe in any of that "divinity" or "salvation" stuff. That's not even religious any more (since religion has to do with a higher power), let alone Christian, but it probably means you're kind/compassionate to the poor and downtrodden, which is a good thing.

Pascal's Wager isn't a very good wager tbh. It assumes that the only possible outcomes are "Christian God" and "No God". Ignoring Hindu God, Pagan Gods, Greek Gods, Xenu, any number of unnamed gods, Pixies, Fairies, A Computer Programmer who rewards logic over faith, and any number of other potential scenarios. Including angry gods who prefer you worship no gods to worshiping the wrong god.

Not necessarily. There are a lot of gods, but most of them won't send you to hell. Like, the Greek gods aren't going to care about you whether you believe in them or not.

So to maximize your expected gain, you want to pick a god who will send you to eternal damnation if you don't believe in him. Obviously you might screw yourself over (what if you pick the wrong one? what if the real god is extra mad that you picked the wrong one?) but that's why it's a wager.

I actually don't know where the idea of purgatory comes from. It isn't in the standard Protestant Bible -- although I know there was/is debate about what books belong in the Bible, so maybe it's in one of those extra books.

Welcome to the club! I came to terms with the same fact a few years ago.

Though my point of divergence is somewhat different. I can still believe that the world was created in seven days, that woman was created from a man's rib, etc. I can still believe in a personal God who wants a relationship with humans. (That is to say, I'm not convinced either way, but it doesn't seem particularly farfetched to me)

What I can't believe is that the God of the Bible, assuming he exists as written, is good or worthy of worship in any way. Like, is there a being out there who condemns people to hell who have never heard his name, or who have heard but choose not to believe? Maybe. But if so, I do not want to be a follower of that being.

Which is potentially a bad deal for me -- Pascal's wager and all that -- but I guess I'm just shortsighted like that.

ftr I would probably vote Celes over Lightning in a final

either (1) Celes hasn't won yet (poor GMUN) (but against a character I also dislike is a perfect time for her finally to win) or (2) Celes has won, but it would be funny if Lightning were so finals-cursed that she can't even beat a former champ
