“Agnostic/Atheists Wager – Whether or not you believe in God, you should live your life with love, kindness, compassion, mercy and tolerance while trying to make the world a better place. If there is no God, you have lost nothing and will have made a positive impact on those around you. If there is a benevolent God reviewing your life, you will be judged on your actions and not just on your ability to blindly believe when there is a significant lack of evidence of his/her existence.” [1] [ 2]
A wager on the wages of sin: Atheist have a powerful faith in what they know and as such should indeed live a life with love, kindness, compassion, mercy and tolerance while trying to make the world a better place. It’s true that one can lose nothing in this life by doing these laudable things. Atheism would seek to deny their gift of eternity for the finite world of flawed humans. Know that God has given us all a pardon thru Jesus Christ because He is a compassionate God. Atheist claim significant lack of evidence for many things from Moral Absolutes on up to the Creator.
Rhetoric that the Creator is evil because of perfect knowledge of the future is a comfort to them as they attack all religions as harmful. The fallacy in there logic is incorporated into there doctrine. God gave us freedom of choice. While atheism would deny choice as an illusion, God has given all of us that precious and perilous gift. Just as there are moral absolutes so is there choice. A quantum gate of possibility that becomes fixed only when it’s state is observed. Sin is a choice and we are all predisposed to sin as it is our nature. In that choice is where evil can and does come from. God did not create evil but if choice has not aligned it’s self with God’s law the result is not from God. If one denies the existence of God you have made a choice that a benevolent God is going to honor. Eternity with God would hardly be a fun place for even the most moral and upstanding Atheist.
Psychology is a science of human nature and through this scientific method there is proof of what I am saying. Moral absolutes are a nature and nurture process we want to follow them unless we find it hard or think it oppressive. We all at one time or another fall short or want to outright disobey. Jesus asked us to love one another as we do ourselves. Do people tend to unconditionally love others, much less ourselves? With Gods law inseparably incorporated within us this would be no problem yet because of Adam that can only be restored at the return of the Messiah. The Atheist mantra of logic, scientific method, and evolutionary programing is flawed in that there is no perfect knowledge of everything. While theory is a strong explanation by known testing and observational method that understanding can and does evolve through new observations and discovery. While God is easy to discover in the heart and minds of Christians there is also a method to deny that existence.
The solipsist wager: Everything is relative to what can be proven and then tested though the lens of personal perspective and bias. Upon that bias is the absolute that there is always bias and so there is always a significant lack of evidence. Evidence can not be bias if it’s backed up by scientific theory while bringing modification to that theory as more is discovered by bias pursuit of absolutes.
