I love Dinesh's original answer. "God had to make the universe, because we can't explain the Universe's beginning. But God's beginning can't be explained either, but we can ignore that."

@JasperNagtzaam Why can't an educated man argue in favor of Pascal's wager ? Wasn't Pascal argument a rational one, and wasn't Pascal himself is a well educated man ?

Surely choosing something is better than not choosing anything (not to choose any religion). Even having 1 in a billion chance to go to heaven is still better than having zero chance. So choosing to believe in any religion is clearly not as risky as being non religious.

@JasperNagtzaam I liked the question. The guy basically said: if you live a good life, chances are that together with the creator (surprise!), the two of you might look down and laugh at the christians in hell.
