You can make up arbitrary properties about the god you believe in all day. Some very mainstream beliefs include such ideas as "you have to spread your religion over others". You cannot chose which arbitrary properties you make your wager on.


>"you have to spread your religion over others". That just seems like growth hacking (to put it in startup parlance). I find it illogical that a creator would see someone with a good heart, pure intentions, and kick them off to their "hell" because they didn't "spread your religion over others".


But you find it logical that a creator with absolutely no evidence of their existence would, if existing, care or even perceive that you are "not worshipping god in general".


No. Personally, I believe a creator would be busy with the countless other universes and couldn't care mostly about people's day to day.

What I mainly suggested was the ROI of believing in a creator vs not was a high ROI, low effort return (a la Pascal's wager) - but that I also believe Pascal stopped too soon in the next logical step to heavily weight the probabilities towards a conclusion.
