Pascal's Wager - Expanded

A break-down of that tired, old argument that theists still use as if it's worth anything.

Blaise Pascal was a true genius. It's quite unfortunate he is mostly known due to his "wager" which he came up with as a joke among his sketches.

@miskee11 Are you sure it was a joke? The reason I made this was because so many otherwise intelligent people tried using it on me.

You know, now that I think about it. The correct God would probably be more angry if you worshipped another GOd than nothing at all. Oh and, from the video the chat is too fuzzy, we need a link to a picture.

Lol'd hard. Your a very good troll.

@GBart Yes, I'm sure. By the way I recommend watching the video "Unsung Philosophers: Blaise Pascal". It's quite good!

@dougbear2004 All the capslock means that you really really really believe it. That means you must have some really really really good evidence. I would love to know what it is.

[GBart]

@dougbear2004 OK, one last time. HOW do you know any of that is true?

[dougbear2004]

@GBart WELL SANTA IS NOT THE TRUE GOD
