: Gee, Rotten Apple, what's at your core? Fear? Hahahahha Nope... try again.
Baby, I give. Please tell.

: Sweet battle tactic though... supports your world view while attempting to hit a sensitive nerve. Unfortunately for you, I have no sensitive nerve.

: Can you tell me why you believe in God? Like a 5, with reason and logic not sentimentality? If you can, I promise to play nice.

I always separate the 1)cost-benefit analysis from it's 2)probability/likelihood.

1)If you believe, what would you gain; and if you do not believe, what do you risk losing?

Ok, so, too - the converse. If you believe, what do you risk losing; and if you do not believe, what would you gain?

2)Ok, now what's the likelihood of either of any of the above to be true?: who knows? I'd like to, but I don't.

So based on both the above criterion - I make my decision from there - and stick to it.
