I don't see this as necessary, really. I mean, since you're just making things up, couldn't you make up any reason to make things worthwhile? How about 72 virgins? That seems to be the same sort of attempt, doesn't it? I see a lot of people making things up in order to make the unacceptable acceptable. It's not too convincing.

Sorry. I was more thinking of quotes such as the one above. And to clarify, I did not mean to insult an individual, and I apologize if I seemed to do so.
It seems to me that a lot of these discussions touch on the non-believer's view that we believers are "making things up" and such. Because our belief is not strictly built on 'human-proven-facts.' Thus our brain is smaller.
As far as it not being convincing to you...that is exactly my point. Humans tend to be convinced either one way or the other (there is a God, there is not a God), when in fact we really have nothing more to go on than a decision we chose to make based on how we have been trained to think, which is different for everyone and dependent on an unguessable number of subtleties and nuances that we have all been subjected to from the day we were born until now.
