That’s because ‘Wagger’ is misspelled.

Wait, what? The only option is your god or else djbecker is king of the world?!

I know your wording tries to push people around, but I see you painting into a corner.

This "throne" you mention is a figment of your imagination and not mine.Asking me a question based on the premise that I am choosing to sit on a "throne" that you know I don't think exists has got to be a logical fallacy of some sort or other.

Did you ever see the word "afterlife" there?[/b]
I really don't know.
What has the bible to do with this thread or my opening post?

btw Could you show me the word "relevance" anywhere in the Harry Potter books?

This opening is similar to Pascal's Wager but with colours reversed.

Basically
Assume there is no afterlife and live this life to the fullest.

1. If there is no afterlife,
you were correct. Well done.

2. If there is an afterlife,
you were wrong, but hey, an afterlife! Who would have thought!
You forget, the afterlife could be in one of two places.

Why not 5 or 6 places?
Is there a brochure?
Can I have a sea-view?

It might dawn upon you at some point in time that people who reject the existence of God become of 'god' of their own little universe. They may not be aware of it but it's quite obvious to those that are able to observe such things.

Because there are only two.

You can burn or you can be found righteous. This was the basis of Pascal's statement.
