As a Christian, atheist put up a really good argument that is very logical, and I usually get pretty impressed when listening to some atheistic people’s inputs. They've argued that God either is not real or does not deserve to be praised. But look at it in a much broader sense. Think about putting your belief in God as placing a bet. There are only two possible outcomes which are that God is real or that He isn't. I think about in a sense that if He does exists then I have a 50/50 chance at being right. If I am wrong & there is no God then when I die I will just rot in the ground with not only atheist but everyone else too & then BAM that’s the end of it, I am gone forever. But if I'm right, I'll spend eternity in a realm that is so amazing that they say it is beyond description. Then if I choose to not believe in God I risk burning for all of eternity in hell. When I think of the best case scenario with an atheistic belief set it is a life that just leads to decomposing in a box that is feet under the ground. By believing in God I have the most to gain, and by believing in Atheism I’ll have more to lose. So after I explained all that... the most logical conclusion is for me to believe in God. The usual reply is "Christians risk all of their life by believing in something false" & that’s when I usually say that so do atheist. Atheist have equal chances of being wrong, & even if they somehow had assurances that they were right, I would much rather risk following a “nonexistent God” in this life that I’m living right now than to experience eternal suffering in the next.
