QuoteThere's this wonderful new invention you should check out, it's called a camera...
I was expecting better from you. Photographic special effects are are old as photography.
And yet, a full 100 years after the first modern photography, most people were still able to tell that King Kong wasn't a real gorilla.

Perhaps! If any one religion's view of heaven (and the entrance requirements) are correct, then Pascal's Wager is a good deal - provided you subscribe to all religions.

Yep...the crux of it all.

You know how you can tell one person something and then tell another thee exact same thing and they interpret your statement differently? (That ought to be familiar)
So, God tells one prophet, he tells another prophet the same thing, and another, and on down the line and they all interpret differently. They all go off to establish a religion based on their interpretation and Bingo! We get Christianity, we get Islam, we get Judaism, all down the line. We even get one that says, "I don't believe a word you said".
One source, many interpretations.
Leave it to humans to argue about who is right, who is wrong, and who is bat-shit crazy.

Maybe, but Pascal considered that view of inconsistent revelations a "fatal repose". A rhetorical trap that he or any other serious seeker should not fall into.
I did a Wikipedia search on Jesus Christ. Do it yourself and see if you fall into a coma of confusion.
One thing that is quite interesting is the reported window of birth and the reported window of death. Simplistic basic beginning of life and end of life are easily determined by the majority of people that I know. Those two items are relatively common sense for even the most uneducated Afghanistani poppy farmer.
Move forward about ~1485 years and lets have a round of applause for some cool cats out of Portugal to discover the Earth is actually {round}.
With all the cataclysmic, evangelical, miraculous Biblical events, don't you think some lesser person would have actually already known this?
This boat builder guy.......where did he find the meanest mofo on the planet to wrangle all those different species? I can't even see a guy wrestling one grizzly bear mama over to the boat, let alone getting daddy-o grizzly to come along. Especially for that long ass Atlantic swim.
The appointed poo shoveler on the mystical cruise has always been my personal envy.
A couple of things that are for sure:
1. If you choose to go the church of your choice.....bring money. Religion is the biggest financial institution in the {round} world.
2. Religion is always controversial. Always. Regardless, if you are a believer or a non-believer. Just ask your local religious affiliate if he/she agrees with the ways of another that is not of the same as theirs.
3. When you are dead......you are dead. I would ask some of those that are dearly departed. But, they are dead. And dead people don't have much to say.
Later.

QuoteYou're missing a bigger point.
Do also prepare to UFO attacks?
Are you prepared for a black hole to vaporize the earth?
Have you prepared for time travel into the past?
You do realise that as pops lives at the farm, he has already experienced an alien invasion with the arrival of Andy Copland?
Well, there's the problem in a nutshell.
