Christians profess a religion that cannot be
supported by reason.Faith is a choice.

Reason can tell us the most logical choice

• If God exists
• The choice of God leads to infinite happiness
• The choice against God leads to infinite loss

• If God does not exist
• The choice of God is the loss of finite truth
• The choice against God is a choice for finite
  truth

Where would you place your bet? Your life?

But, what if you cannot believe?

• Go through the motions.
• Holy water
• Mass
• You will become faithful, honest, humble,
  grateful, generous, a sincere friend, truthful.
• You will gain this life and eventually the faith
  you do not have.

Could you do this?

• What would your gain?

• What would you loose?
