I wouldn't know, that's not my source
Same as all Christian theology. Just made up to satisfy the masses.

More subtle than that, but given your distaste for religious discussions I'll leave it there.
You should, you are a dope.

Whether you know it or not you just restated it. Learn more theology.
Pascal's wager basically says in the case that you don't know if God exists or doesn't exist the most rational approach is to BELIEVE in God because the possible COST of getting the bet wrong is eternal damnation.
The primary theological problem is that this is GAMING the system. SURELY GOd would know you are merely "mouthing the right beliefs" in order to avoid punishment. HARDLY the loving relationship and need for salvation that engenders worship.
If God simply wants people to bow and pray PERFORMATIVELY then it is hardly a god worthy of worship. That's what Trump is. Just wants adoration.
That's why I think it is bad theology.
You really should learn more about the faith.

Why are you so nasty to everyone all the time?
Why do you stalk me? Quit being a jerkoff.

I didn't stalk you. You came on here and called me a dope.
Could YOU possibly quit being a jerkoff or is it a genetic condition?
When you stop stalking you will be treated with respect. Everyone on the forum hates you.

....and one whom everyone on the forum hates, don't forget that part.
If only I could be like you: calling everyone names all the time and never actually adding to a thread.
Go see a therapist.

Not familiar with that. Is it a form of CBT? Is it related to A.C.T.?
Probably? You're drifting into agnosticism.
The atheist has to respond that Jesus was obviously either lying or insane, because there is no God.
The analogy only works for a highly committed atheist. There's nothing historical about Santa Claus, he is and was always intended to be a fairy tale. Billions of people accept that the historical Jesus was God in human form, as reported in written sources. . I don't know if they're right, but I'm not going to tell them they are idiots who believe in fairytales. I'll leave that job to you.
No, Jesus was just a figure in Jewish religion.
