Well, if I was God (well, I am, but not in that way) I would give you such a kick in the bollocks as you come in the pearly gates if you were a suck-up that "worshiped" me merely because of Pascal's Cowardly Wager. Jesus, would I be pissed :tantrum:
So you are saying that the reason why God created the universe, including millions of years of human and animal suffering, and the extinction of most species, is so that at the end of all of that a select few humans could be with him forever. I see.
