So which variation of theism are you going with? There are literally thousands and thousands. Nothing substancial sets them apart from one another. Would an allknowing, allpowerful, benevolent merciful god make us gamble our "souls"? And doesn't it raise your suspisions that all the good shit will only supposedly happen.... when you're a corpse?

Um, no. Our minds do not shape reality, the laws of physics, etc. Something doesn't require someone's faith or belief in it to be true. Are you saying the world really was flat until people believed otherwise, then the earth's shaped shifted in accordance to peoples faith? Nope.
"The scientist yearns to find and eventually know the truth; The religious man wants the truth to fit his preconceived mold. So, as a result... The scientist alters his perception to conform to the facts; The religious man
tries to change the facts to conform to his beliefs." -Unknown

Well then, you can either A. disprove I'm not god, or B. get down on those knees.
