If there’s more than one religion for which it’s true that you’re ****ed if you don’t follow it (bumuming they mutually forbid following other religions) then this sort of logic comes down to a choice of which particular ****ing you’d most want to avoid.

Since we don’t know for sure that any of these eschatological ****ings even exist, I’ll choose to make life on Earth a higher priority than a hypothetical afterlife. Part of that being to not waste time, energy or money on bull**** religious practice. Avoiding feeling like a mbumive tool also.

Besides, you’re bumuming that god would be satisfied with lip service, it’s not like I can consciously choose to believe in something I think is ridiculous and incoherent.

If you ask a catholic priest or muslim cleric whether god would be satisfied with lip service, the answer will be a resounding yes. Just show up to church every Sunday and go through the motions and God won’t have any problem with you.

That’s the premise of Pascal’s wager which I’m sure you are familiar with and already have a prepackaged answer for Log in to see images!
