being an atheist? Christians sometimes try to use Pascal's Wager to argue for being a christian but if you change Pascal's Wager around the right way you get a kind of Wager in which it's best to be an atheist. This is what that Wager states
If you live like there is no afterlife and there is an afterlife then it's a win win situation as you got to enjoy your life and you get to enjoy your self in the afterlife. If you spend your entire life worrying about the afterlife and there is an afterlife after all then at least you get to enjoy your self in the afterlife. If you live like there is no afterlife and there is no afterlife then at least you got to live life to the fullest. If you spend your entire life worrying about the afterlife and there isn't an afterlife though then you just wasted your only life and you don't get a second chance to enjoy life in the afterlife so you just wasted your only life.
So the best course of action is to live like there is no afterlife and be an atheist just in case there is no afterlife.
