And Pascal's Wager assumes that, as an incorrect theist, you (and the World) will lose little or nothing. However, this is not necessarily the case; I know that if I had lived my relatively short life thus far as even a liberal Christian, I would at the very least have:
  • Wasted a lot of time learning and thinking about totally unimportant topics ("are there clothes in Heaven?")
  • Never have been able to appreciate much of the greatest (and often most controversial) art and entertainment out there
  • Treasured this one and only life much less, instead concerning myself with an imaginary next, and taking fewer oppertunities to improve my life and anybody else's
  • Never experienced many great sleep-in dreams on Sundays
