still could be manure, maybe valuable manure, but still manure.

Is that the answer you're looking for? 😛

this whole thread is just pascal's wager set in the language of dj2-ese. is that all christianity is to you? a wager that you perceive to have no downside? there are many reasons to think that this perception is naive. see for example:

"What if you could double your income in half of the time? Would you do it?"
I must admit I admire his "sticktoitness" though. Logic be damned....
Fine dj, I will play along in this thread too....Ahem:
"Why yes. If I was offered a gift I would be very interested in taking it. Can you tell me what this gift is?"
(Drumroll please....)

Who of you would turn down a free gift from somebody you don't know?
If so discuss why?
Caller: "Hello, sir. I have a wonderful offer for you - a $500 shopping spree.
Me: Great! Thanks so much. Just send me the money and I will look forward to spending it.
C; Well, sir, allow me to explain...
M: Explain what? You just said I won a $500 shopping spree. Just send the money.
C: Sir, we would like for you to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity if I may explain.
M: You just did. You said I won that wonderful opportunity.
C: Yes, and we would like for you to take advantage of by....
M: Have a nice day (click).
Did you see how that worked? Somebody was lying to me to get me hoodwinked into givng them something. Could it be money?
Here's another one. Pay attention. Learning at the hands of Discover.
Caller: Sir, because of your good credit we want to offer you a Discover card that will pay for purchases.
Me: So you all are paying for what I buy?
C: If I may explain. You get a refund on purchases with your card.
M: So that sounds great! I can use it and you all pay for everything.
C: Not exactly sir.
M: But that's exactly what you said. Were you listening to what you said? You said I will get a refund on purchases with the card. Simple and clear, don't you think.
C: Oh I can see how that was confusing.
M: But I wan't confused, you were, so have a nice day. (click)
Listen to me carefully. Nothing is free. You have to work for stuff you want.

I hope you don't mind if I steal some of that material for the next time I receive a wonderful offer of my own.

That's just beautiful.

very well said and great post. somehow, i think that if the christian god does exist, then he did not give us hands solely for the purpose of being able to pick up and handle free packages. faith based solely on pascal's wager is not what he has in mind.
