so often, i here some form of pascal's wager being asked by christians to atheists. it makes me wonder. is this a natural thought that just pops into the average christian's mind? or is it a question that they were asked by some other christian? it seems all to common of a question to just be coincidental. to those who have asked this question, not realizing it's been asked thousands of times over, was this just a natural idea that occured to you, or were you presented with it by another christian?
for those who don't know what i'm talking about yet. pascal's wager refers to the christian argument, where choosing to believe in god is the best choice. the reasoning goes, if i believe and i'm right, i get to go to heaven. if i believe and i'm wrong, nothing happens to me. if i don't believe and i'm right nothing happens. however, if i don't believe and i'm wrong, i go to hell. the argument begins to fall apart however when you consider both may be wrong...
