Not that my signature has anything at all to do with the topic -- but that's how you've managed to show everyone you have no argument here.
So? Santa was your creator?
You equate with what does not relate.
No argument here?... Because there is nothing you offer that needs an argument. Its self contradictory.
Sure there is. Unless you can prove that Allah won't send you to hell for not being Muslim. You've just missed the very-easy-to-grasp-for-most-people point.
I really hate it when people keep trying to use Pascal's wager. As if one can have true belief through that kind of persuasion anyway.

And the delicious irony in all this is that you, like the fundies, have ripped the argument out of its original context and are destroying a strawman.

True, however, if I am presented a strawman dressed up as a legitimate argument, then I feel obligated to burn that strawman down.
I will deal will a legitimate argument as a legitimate argument, and a strawman as a strawman.
Your other thread didn't acknowledge this but by all means keep burning down strawman. It won't teach you anything or change anyone's mind but it fills in time.
We have shown the weakness of the argument. If you replace the Judeo-Christian God with other gods, christians no longer take it seriously. Pascal's Wager requires you to believe in all gods which is self-defeating, especially since worshipping other gods to gain favor will cause the other gods to punish you.
Hitler, like the scientist that he was, picked and chose from the Scriptures what he wanted to believe.But what evidence do you have to suggest that Hitler, homicidal maniac that he was, didn't believe in the scripture?
Hitler, like the scientist that he was, picked and chose from the Scriptures what he wanted to believe.
He probably didn't think Israel was the Promised Land.
He probably didn't think the Jews were God's chosen people.
He probably thought the Jews were witches who needed to die.
He probably thought survival of the fittest was nature's way of pruning.
He probably thought he was making the world better for mankind by ridding it of ignorant, Bronze Age, goat herding nomads.
And that's the strawman! Pascals wager wasn't designed to choose between gods.
Who scored him as such?Again, he was insane.
Hitler was, in my opinion, demon possessed.His insanity warped mind is what primarily inspired his evil deeds, I don't think his beliefs had any significant impact on that.
No argument there.Beliefs, no matter how twisted and sick, are still beliefs though.
Hitler had to identify himself as something, in order to get the votes he needed to become Chansellor (or Kaiser, or whatever it was).I am not claiming that Hitler was a good Christian or even a "true" Christian, only that he believed in god, and identified himself as Christian.
Or possessed ... something you wouldn't understand.Come on, the dude had enough Jewish blood in his own family to qualify for his own death camps, dude was 100% nuts.
Hitler chose science over religion as an excuse to do his deeds.His evil deeds and his religion are unrelated,
Only to get the votes.although he did attempt to manipulate religion to justify his actions.
