Checkmate, Pascal
But the Hindus dont even have a concept of the after life.

>What is reincarnation
>>1145289
reincarnation is to get purified and unite with..umm...the big omnipresent God behind everything. If you are a good little christian you get karmic brownie point. So, it\s not checkmate.
>>1145262
why can't you convert to every religion? checkmate, atheist!
>>1145315
because many religions do not allow to have other religions.
>I follow religion in order to gain something
Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of religion?
>>1145308
Suck it
>>1145341
And you'd have to cross the Bridge of Chinvat.
If you are a good little christian, you get good boy points, so the bridge is wide.
And if you've lead a great life, you get a really hot chick (or dude if you're a woman) to accompany you. If you're a nasty person, your guide is dog-ugly and probably shouts at you as you try and get across.
Wanna continue playing this game, OP?
>>1145341
Don't the Zoroastrian reward good deeds no matter if people follow it or not?
>>1145332
Hasn't religion traditionally been about personal gain? People have always sacrificed/prayed to the gods or God in order to get a better harvest, cure diseases, etc
>>1145262
assuming any god exists:
>if pascal is christian, he has at least a chance to get in heaven
>if pascal is atheist, he will go to hell for sure
>>1145367
differing christian sects that claim to have the exclusive path to salvation such as Jehovah's Witnesses and Islam
We all know Pascal's Wager is trash. Just fucking stop baiting.
>>1145389
Who says that every possible deity or group of deities would necessarily decide to torment you for not believing in them?
>>1145389
>there exist no possible gods who are indifferent to or even reward atheism
>>1145391
If JW are right, then souls don't exist, so you just get judged and literally seared from existence by Jehovah.
Islam?
Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.(Al-Baqra Verse No:62)
Surely the ones who have believed, and the ones who have Judaized, and the SabiÉîn [The Sabaeans] and Nasara [Christians], and the Majûs [The Magians] and the ones who have associated [i.e. other gods with Allah], surely Allah will distinguish between them on the Day of the Resurrection; surely Allah is an Ever-present Witness over everything.

>depicts a Christian afterlife with a Hindu figure
kek
>>1145272
Actually yes. Temporarily at least, svargaloka is basically a heaven.
>>1145272
>the Hindus
Who says it's Hindu? Hindus don't have a copyright on elephants.
>>1145466
>a Christian afterlife
What makes it "Christian?"
>>1145389
>deny the existence of god 1
>deny the existence of god 1 and actively pray to god 2
What would make god 1 angrier?
Checkmate Pascal!
