What makes you think that if atheism is wrong, then Christianity is right? In the end, when comparing all the infinite number and equally unlikely possible cosmologies, the unobservable afterlife benefits of being a Christian are a wash, and there are observable real life costs to it, I am not afraid of it's inconsequential threats.
That depends on what was proven to be wrong which you are not very clear on. It also depends on what conclusions they drew as a result of their old beliefs and what conclusions they draw as a result of their new beliefs which is very much up to the individual.
No, I won't. Suffering is suffering; it hurts the one who suffers. No one's suffering is more valid or more painful than another's. And there is no proving wrong something as subjective as religion or beliefs of the metaphysical.
Us Atheist do. I mean, if Christians are wrong then they just turn to dirt when they die. No big. They are going to anyway. If Atheist are wrong, then we go to hell. But to be honest, I'd rather rule below, than to serve in heaven. If you know what I mean.

Pascal's Wager, it goes both ways. What if you're wrong and Allah or Ra are the gods, there are over 100 gods, you take your pick.

Aaah, Pascal's Wager. Makes me feel young again.
Hehehe, I love these fail arguments. When are you going to realize that Pascals Wager isn't going to work?
That's the wrong question to ask. The issue isn't "which position has the least risk" -- the issue is "which position is correct."
Is this a loose form of Pascal's Wager? If so, *drink*
Church folks won't feel a thing. In the meantime they have the advantage of feeling holy.
