I laugh, well actually just a chuckle every time you use it as it demonstrates your desperation with the ignorance of pascal's wager.
The really sad part is that as someone who has made your way to this point in the world, that you are so completely controlled by the fear you demonstrate by your constant use of fear as rational.
And finally how pathetic, that as an adult, veteran, and has lived many decades you are still offer only irrational fear to persuade others. I recognize you honestly believe what you are saying, yet your argument is limited to fear and your book that is a joke.
No the wager is bogus at best, extortion of the feeble minded at the worst.
There are consequences for all law breakers. Speeding, dealing illegal drugs, rape, etc. That fear of deserved punishment keeps many people in check and helps preserve order. As Christians, It's really not that we are afraid of punishment. Christ already paid for our crimes. We now enjoy real love, encouragement, peace and more perks than I can right in a short time. We are also generally pretty pleasant people to be around. We try to bless our neighbors, we donate to many charities. Christians take care of widows, orphans,start hospitals, schools, etc. we are compelled by love.
Fear? You are hanging by a thread over a cliff. You just can't see it. Mocking the coast guard helicopter who is trying to rescue you is counter productive. I get it. It's like we are offering you a pill to cure the cancer you don't think you have. We just want to to go to the doctor (the Great Physician) so you can get a proper diagnosis. I know I'm mixing metaphors, but you don't know, what you don't know.
Spiritually speaking, you have a disease. We used to have it. We have been cured. You won't go for a checkup. Knowing that your disease will someday harm you beyond what you can imagine, we speak truth. We do it for your benefit. You respond with smug, prideful, arrogant responses. If you don't care about your life, we can't make you. I'm hoping that, instead of continuing to stiffen your neck, you will go to the doctor. OG, Ringo, Reba, we are good. We are happy peaceful people that have been blessed by God's love. We don't live in fear. We want others to get to experience what we do. It's frustrating to us to see people like you reject so great a gift. It's also very annoying to see your arrogant prideful responses. We write hoping this will help someone. There is nothing in what you write that is helpful to anyone. You have no beneficial purpose in saying what you do.
If I don't like a restaurant, I don't go there. It would be insane for me to hang out in that restaurant and mock the waiters for serving food I hate. I guess you have nothing better to do. Sorry to hear that.
Praying that you can someday experience God's goodness.
Romans 2:4-5 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
Hoping your heart softens and your neck loosens up.
