[ExI] The Bomb verses a Email server

[Dylan Distasio]

John-

I've found your outbursts on religion very similar to your ones attacking
Trump and his supporters.  Putting aside the fact that I find both of them
very judgmental and incredibly intolerant, I remain curious why if you are
asking us to believe that because you think there is a higher than usual
probability of a catastrophic outcome (global thermonuclear war), you are
not a buyer of Pascal's wager and going to church every Sunday as a
result.  What could be worse than an eternity of hellfire, a Donald Trump
presidency?!  Wouldn't you be better off believing on the slightest chance
that the believers are right?

You are making the same wager here on list with those who don't agree with
your "reasoning" or your odds.
