Subject: PASCAL'S WAGER: YOUR FORTUNE AWAITS

Looking for a way to earn EXTRA CASH for school, a car, or a home?
YOU can earn up to $500 a week, and it's so easy ANYBODY can do it!

A few months ago I was FLAT BROKE, and since I was an ATHEIST I knew I
didn't even have a prayer.  I tried every moneymaking plan under the
sun.  After three years of constant attempts at striking it rich, I
had done nothing but strike out.  

        I tried multi-level marketing...I failed!
        I tried chain letters... They failed me!
        I tried envelope stuffing... What a joke!

Then a true friend showed me how I could MAKE REAL MONEY through the
Internet!  I swear, this is all completely legal.  (*)

It's all based on PASCAL'S WAGER.  If you've never heard of it, don't
worry; you don't need to understand mathematics or gambling to make
money with this technique!  Pascal's Wager is simply a theological
argument that goes like this:

        If there is no God and you worship him anyway, you lose
        nothing.  But if God exists and you worship him, you get to
        go to Heaven forever.  If you don't worship God, you're
        no better off if he doesn't exist, but you miss a big
        opportunity if he does.  Therefore, the sensible thing to do
        is to worship God.

Pretty convincing, eh?  It should be - it's been a foundation of
theism for more than three centuries!  But, smart as Pascal was,
he wasn't smart enough to see the MONEY-MAKING POTENTIAL of this
"wager".  But my friend did!  

Here's how it works.

You find someone who believes in God and make them the following
offer:

        Dear theist;

        I am GOD, and I'm here to make you a FANTASTIC OFFER!  I will
        guarantee you ETERNAL LIFE in Heaven after you die, and all
        you have to do in exchange is to prove your faith in me by
        sending me one dollar.  Now, unlike those jealous gods you
        may have heard about in church or on television, I'm very
        open minded. I don't care one bit if you worship other gods!
        After you send me a dollar, I don't care what you do, even if
        you go back to your old God, repent, and beg his forgiveness.
        You can even tell other people I'm not really God - I JUST
        DON'T CARE. All that matters is that you sent me a dollar.  
        THAT'S IT!!!  No prayers, no collection plates, no guilt
        trips.

        Think of this as a gambling proposition.  If I'm not God,
        this ONLY COSTS YOU A DOLLAR. You'll never miss it!  But if
        I *am* God, this is your ONLY WAY TO THE AFTERLIFE!  How can
        you afford to pass up this TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY?  You'd
        spend a lot more time and money worshipping those OTHER gods,
        but I'm offering you everything they are FOR JUST ONE BUCK!
        YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!

        Love,

        GOD

That is all I do!  I earn $500 a week mailing out this exact same
sales letter.  There is absolutely no catch or crazy gimmick involved
here, I promise you.  This has nothing whatsoever to do with any
ridiculous envelope stuffing program, illegal chain-letter scam or
worthless multi-level scheme!  There is not an easier or simpler way
to make $500 a week than this - there can't be - it's impossible!

Columbia.
