"People will then often say 'But surely it’s better to remain an Agnostic just in case?' This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that I’ve been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would chose not to worship him anyway.)" -Douglas Adams
The idea that you can propitiate God by a vague devotion to him 'just in case' always makes me laugh. Thanks for the video.

If there is a God, and He is anything like the religious people tell us He is, it is probably better to not worship any God than pick the wrong one. It is sort of a reverse Pascal's wager. The odds are you will pick the wrong God. Better to not place a bet at all when the odds are so much in the favor of the house.
