The flip side is that believers get to live forever in a paradise. Either way, believer or non-believer, the
problem with this hypothesis is that there is
absolutely no way to test it short of dying.
Christianity (and religion in general) has all the hallmarks of a scam.
- Too good to be true.
- Hazy on details. 30,000 different interpretations.
- Uncharted territory. You can only collect by dying.
America has many megachurches where tens of thousands of people come every week and give their money away so people like Joel Osteen can live in mansions. I think the early Christian leaders had the same motive.
