Atheist's Wager

[damonite]

You should live your life and try to make the world a better place, whether or not you believe in God. If there is no God, you have lost nothing and will be remembered fondly by those you left behind. If there is a benevolent God, he will judge you on your merits and not just on minutiae of your form of belief in him, If there is a malevolent God then you are going to get fucked anyway.

Pretty solid idea, and hey, it beats the hll out of Pascal's.
