Do you want to gamble your eternal future on the possibility you are right and the Bible is wrong?

no. The Bible is correct. Every other faith is based on good works. Only In Christianity and Judaism does God reach down to bring us to Him.

So Christians are doing good because they follow Jesus and obey His commandment to love everyone. Other faiths think doing works gets you to heaven. We're covered either way, but we have the assurance of The Word Of God telling us that salvation through grace is what saves us.

Well, it is SAFER to believe in God, become a Christian, and then you are safe, not matter if you are now right, or wrong. Smartest way to gamble on this subject.

Aah, nope.

Everything is a gamble. GOing out of the house, taking a shower, eating sushi-- it's all a gamble.

We are always taking risks, small and large, so we have to weigh risks.

You are proposing one risk: that I give up the way I live my life, many things I hold as meaningful and as values, much of what I find fulfilling, etc... in the off chance that the Bible is right about some God eternally torturing me for being wrong about him.

I am confident that the odds of the Bible being right about anything are soooooo small, that it really isn't much of a risk to not follow it.

Giving up everything else in what may be my one and only life on the small, small, insignificantly small chance that the Bible is right seems like the overwhelmingly logical conclusion.

And I'm totally comfortable with that-- because on the off off off chance that the God of the Bible is real and would punish people for being wrong/not believing the right thing about him, he wouldn't be worthy of worship in my eyes anyway, and I could never try to appease such a monster.

Do you want to gamble your eternal future on the possibility you are right and the Koran is wrong?

I haven’t gambled.

I bet on a sure thing!

No, I have self-confidence that the Bible is fairly true and right. Thanks for asking.

Just as much as the Christian would want to gamble that Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Shinto, Taoism, Janism, and hundreds more are incorrect. don't know how much time you've spent considering other religion's heavens or hells, but I imagine it isn't very high. The horrors described of Islamic hell are worse than the ones described in Christianity, so if you're trying to minimize harm and are picking a religion out of fear of a potential afterlife it proposes, you probably should convert to Islam.

I mean, that's the game you've started playing, right? It so often seems the case that people find themselves moved to parrot this fear that already holds them. It isn't reasoned. It is born of their own nervous trepidation and superstitious fears. And, in that is a tacit admission that their position is not logical, that it is not a good reason for acceptance of what the religion claims.

Obviously not, since my Christian faith is based on the Bible.
