Sometimes one thinks that these IDiots must never have heard of Pascal's Wager.  All one has to do is to remind oneself of how well they think, though, and the fact that spectacular rewards promised are on their side becomes meaningless to their actual "thought."

Yes, we just want to sin and either go to hell or rot away.  We'd never want to give something up to have eternal life, none of us has ever searched hopefully for evidence of God and Paradise, only for those hopes to be dashed by the sheer nothingness of the "evidence."  

Obviously the weight of hopeful thinking should be, and is, on the other side.  We're just stuck with evidence, and a reality that hardly fits our hopes and desires.
