text: to believe hell or just deny it, which is safer?? if there is hell and you deny it, it will be too bad for you. if there is no hell and you believe it, it does not cost you any. choose the wise and safe way !!! descartes said the same thing.  if the god that you believe in is naive enough to be fooled by such reductive reasoning, he surely must not be worthy of your, or anyone's, faith.  the wise and safe way is always the correct way; the one that stays firm to your beliefs and convictions. if you are a believer only because you are afraid of hell, then i seriously doubt your convictions.  peace :)
