Atheist Penelope
Delirium:
If God wants me to believe in him, why did he make me an atheist?
KeepACoolin:
I could answer again, but this is getting horribly boring and redundant. I'm done.
Delirium:
I'll chalk that up as a win.

Nonsense. Before you can remind me about stakes, you have to convince me that there's even a game. I've yet to see any evidence of such.

The "game" is merely the existence of the universe. I include atheism as a wholly valid resolution- what I mean to say is that the question of the existence of God, whether it results in an answer of yes or no, is one of high importance.
--- End quote ---
No, the proposed game is the existence of an afterlife. The existence of the universe is so obvious that arguing about it is something only foolish philosophers do, and then only in the privacy of their own bedrooms (also, potheads, and they'll do anything in public, even read their own poetry).
The afterlife is not obvious and, to my knowledge, unproven in the extreme.

That sounds like desperation. And, yes, I know I'm responding- whatever.
And no, the game is not the existence of an afterlife. The existence of an afterlife is a conclusion that might be drawn as a result of playing the game, which means deciding what you believe about the nature of the universe- for instance, whether or not life ends at death. And I agree that it's obvious- I think that a person living logically MUST decide about the universe.
