Not that I approach my faith this way, but if you really think about it, Christians make a statistically good choice by believing in God. Let me explain.
If everything came about by totally random chance and there is no intelligent designer, then we are nothing more than cosmic junk that live without purpose, and when we die, that's it. Game over. Christians believe that God sent his son to earth, where he lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and came back to life. By doing so, we believe we go to heaven.
Now: by believing, we risk nothing (if it's all a hoax, we are nothing of consequence. If it's real, then our earthly life is a pretty small price to pay for an eternity in heaven) and could gain everything. (Eternity in heaven, without evil, with God.)
Does that make sense, or did I completely screw up the wording?
