Yeah, Blaise Pascal is my idol... fuck me Pascal's wager is a practical argument for belief in God formulated by French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. It suggests that it is rational to wager on the existence of God because the potential gains of believing in God, if God exists, outweigh the potential losses of not believing in God, if God does not exist.

It is always amazing at how much circumnavigating occurs before the target is acquired.

This Pascal argument is so stupid: "if a person does not believe in God and God exists, they receive infinite suffering, this you should believe God". If this argument is true, what happens when there are multiple religions claiming to follow the "proper God"? Then the religion in which God is the most evil and punishing, the most bloody God, will have to be the right one to follow, because otherwise you will suffer the most by not following it. That's where the silly argument of Pascal leads to.
