Did you get any pics of her taking a shit?
But then, does the choice truly exist? If, no matter how things are, we are known to take only one specific path and no other, the choice is an illusion. This whole line's a nasty, nasty piece of work. And this is just the religious side. Science and neurology does not help matters any. ;)
A minimal amount of efforts to gather people around doesn't mean you're not lazy. :P
I'm a Buddhist. Leave me alone. :P
How about God being all-knowing as far as the present goes? Laziness rules all, and so, God doesn't care much about what's gonna happen; he deals with what's happening. You know, he really is a big ass procrastinator. I mean, where's the end of the world? The apocalypse? And don't tell me that the guy on the corner is crazy. Sir Toothless John-Bob is not a lunatic.
Nobody ever said omnisentience means you know the future. It means "know all". If you define all as all currently existing knowledge or all as all knowledge ever, past, present, future, well, that's up to you. Not even all of Christianity agrees on which it is. Some sects believe in "pre-destination", i.e. God knows whether you're going to end up good or bad at the end and you cannot avoid your fate, others believe the future is up to you to write. :O I'm more of the latter than the former. I really don't jive well with the concept of inescapable destiny.
If he were, the bible would be a fuckload more interesting.
"Oh hey, noah, see, there's this flood coming..."
"No shit, I'm neck deep in water here!"
"Err, I suppose it's too late for you to round up some animals and build an ark"
"You fucking kidding me?"
"Uh, abe dude, turns out god changed his mind. He wants you to CIRCUMSIZE your kid, not SACRIFICE your kid. Of course he waited til the last minute to... oh...uh...I see...."
"great, now you tell me..."
"PART!"
"..."
"PART! Come on, they're right behind us!"
"Oh shit no! Gahh" *slice"
*one huge massacre later*
*water parts*
"Jesus, dude, I'm here to save you. Uh... jesus?"
*pokes*
"... God is going to be pissed...."
"Hey israelites, god decided to free you fro..."
*notices burned out jerusalem*
"Ah fuck."

Pascal's Wager (or Pascal's Gambit; I've heard it both ways) refers to a probability game featuring religion. Basically, God may or may not exist, and a person may or may not believe. If the person believes and God exists, they go to heaven (Win). If the person believes and God does not exist, they cease to be (Neutral). If the person believes and God does not exist, they cease to be (Neutral). If the person does not believe and God exists, they go to Hell (Lose). Basically, given the choice between believing and not believing, he says it's better to go with the option that gives a chance of success - believing. It fails because of its postulates - it assumes one Christian big-G-God of a specific denomination, it assumes no impact on living life in its value calculations, it assumes non-zero probability of God existing (continuous probabilities, at any given point, are probability 0), and it assumes belief based on this is valid. Or, in other words, it goes boom real good. :angel:
Threesome with Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl
I have my own special hell resevered for me :wacko:
Pascals wager (the source of the usual "if I'm wrong, I lose nothing. If you're wrong, you lose everything" reason for believing) doesn't account for the possibility that both the Atheist and the Christian could be wrong.
Which makes it a pretty weak way to make a choice on the whole, given how many religions there have been over the years.

I need something to do tomorrow. What should I do.
I never passed a math test in high school.
True story.
When I downloaded my Star Wars Ebooks (~140 of them) There was a series where there was more wrong spelled words than right, and the grammar was horrible. I read about 3 chapters of the first book, just to se eif it got better, but it didn't. So I missed out on about 10 books because I couldn't stand to read them. :\
In my entire school career I only failed about 5 tests at most.
Always passed my exams too. Some of them barely, though. Like Tech. Wood, and Geography.
