Default Re: Question for Atheists and maybe those who believe in God.

[ QUOTE ]
Suppose your best friend had a brand-new, spankin' SNES. With Chrono Trigger still in the set and everything. Suppose you could steal it without him ever finding out it was you.

The risk/reward ratio is mathematically and precisely zero.

Would you do it?

[/ QUOTE ]

In short, no.

There are two reason why I wouldn't:

1. If I actually would steal his game, I can't figure out how I could get away with it. The risk would be far greater than the reward.

2. I would think that stealing his SNES would undermine the social contracts that keeps our society ticking and that this eventually would lead to the collapse of everything that is great about civilization. Basically, I don't want to contribute to making this world a suckier place than it already is. Obviously, the risk is far greater than the reward.

But since this is a hypothetical situation where no real world consequences or facts apply, I guess I would steal it, compensate him with a Porsche Boxter and then let his hot mom make sweet love to my 12-incher (while he was out driving the Porsche of course).
