shall I show you a bargain which will save you from the painful torment?

Jesus Christ was not a prophet he was God in man here on earth. This is proven. The only way to God is through him and only if you belive in him here on earth. He will accept you with only "Matthew 17:20" And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."

You don't have to go to Mecca, you don't have to pray five times a day. Just have the faith of a mustard seed, that is easy.

If Paradise is the ultimate triumph why would I need anything more from God.?

The ultimate triumph is surviving the return of Christ. The ultimate triumph is when God makes his Son overseer of the REST of the inhabited earth, where he put us to live in harmony in the first place.

Triumph is victory of GOOD over EVIL. which will be diminished in its entirety and without that the earth too becomes a Paradise. I am sure that is in the Quran as well.

My bargain is much better. Here at the Church of the Subgenius, we are honest. We want your money. Send us $30, and we will guarantee your salvation. If by some fluke we are wrong, the Great Bob will be waiting for you at the gates to Hell with a refund of triple-your-money-back. Additionally, he will offer to sell you a book which explains how to live like a king in Hell for eternity on 5 cents. The book will only cost you $89.95. Embrace Bob now. Embrace Slack! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, just like Bob.

One of the arguments of Pascal’s Wager is that a person loses nothing by believing in a god. But for atheists, accepting Pascal’s Wager means saying that we are willing to abandon reason and evidence as our guides to living, and instead make a leap of faith to… where?

It’s true that by converting (or deconverting) from theism to atheism a person will lose his or her sense of divine specialness, cosmic meaning in life, and any hope of an afterlife. But you can’t lose what you never really had.

The reality of atheism far outweighs the dream of religion. There is an excitement and beauty to perceiving the world as it really is, and not as an illusion.

First you need to demonstrate that there is such a thing as "painful torment" after dying...until you can do that, it's really rather silly to argue about the best way to avoid such a thing, don't you think?

Peace.

And I loss interest in a heart beat. No matter what some say I stay to my mixed religion.

There are mansions in Eden now? Well, there goes the neighborhood!

You have a typo in (13).

It should say "when Jesus, the son of GOD", asked the Disciples

The TRINITY FTW!

Blah, blah, blah ....... Can't you think for yourself? Do you believe everything you read? If you do I got a story that says you should give all your money to me.

Believe or die. Yeah, that's Paradise alright.
