Another member of the church I was a member of posted this little piece of wisdom shown below. Now if you they want to have an intellectual discussion about how our views differ that's fine, but I…"

John R. Alley replied to John R. Alley's discussion 'Reaction to "Science Saved My Soul" Video'"It's funny you mentioned Pascal's wager.

John R. Alley replied to John R. Alley's discussion 'Reaction to "Science Saved My Soul" Video'"Thanks! Yes, I am quite familiar with Wil Wheaton's motto. I actually want to get it on a shirt."
John R. Alley replied to John R. Alley's discussion 'Reaction to "Science Saved My Soul" Video'"I agree with you.
