I've been slowly friending all the Krises on Facebook (or attempting to friend them). I thought it's possible I might come across a couple distant cousins who would have family tree information of their own that could assist me in filling out my own genealogical data.
Anyway, I got a message from one Krise in Illinois that I send a Friend Request to last night. She was so sorry to see I was an atheist she had to send a smarmy message but not sorry enough to confirm friendship.

beowulf,
I am a Christian and am so sorry to see that you are an atheist. What if you are wrong? Eternity is a long time. God Bless you. If you ever need Christ in your life, he will still be there.

Why that's a silly argument for why I should believe in god. It is basically a re-hash of an argument called "Pascal's Wager", and the problem with Pascal's Wager is that it incorrectly assumes there are only two options: Christianity or atheism. In fact, the chances that you may have picked the wrong god are immense considering the number of gods that have ever been postulated (Hinduism alone has millions). Anyway, I know all of this will fall on deaf ears. No hard feelings.
I just hope that should I ever come to need Christ in my life he's more willing to friend me than you were.
Thanks,
beowulf
