    Oh wow, easy bet every year right there. And the only people losing money from it are psycho Christians.

    Just thinking about the logic here… If you believe Jesus is coming and he’s taking you with him, isn’t this bet a no-win situation?

    Let’s say for argument’s sake, he comes back. You’ve been raptured, so you’re literally unable to collect your winnings (and why would you even want to?).

    Obviously, logic and rationality isn’t their strong suit, but goddamn they really didn’t think it through.

      Yeah, logically it makes zero sense to bet for it other than ego-soothing. Which even that barely makes sense. And it’s not like the Christians can bet $1 million, either. The funds get withdrawn and held, so you’re literally out money and wouldn’t ever collect on the winnings.

      Might as well bet on an asteroid hitting earth and wiping out all life on earth. To win the bet, you have to be dead.
