LOL! Sure wish I knew! It's just one more thing that believers just don't get. They claim their god is all-knowing but just don't see that hedging your bets would be frowned upon by a god who wants true and total devotion.

I love Pascal's Wager questions!
Look at my answer to that previous question...that didn't come right off the top of my head. That's the result of answering about 200 Pascal's Wager questions. It's very well groomed now, almost flawless to both atheists and believers alike.

I am using this as my pat answer to any and all forms of Pascal's wager from now on....
If the risk of going to hell is small, but the suffering is infinite....wouldn't you be safer sending me $5,000 to learn how not to go to hell?
$5,000 is a finite number. The chance, no matter how small, of going to hell if you DON'T give me $5,000, and recieving infinite pain as a consequence, results in the possibility of infinite pain. Infinity multiplied by ANY number, no matter how small (your chance of going to hell) is still infinity.
Therefore......isn't it worth a finite sacrifice of $5,000 to ensure that you don't risk inifnity in hell?
E-mail me for mailing instructions, and learn how to avoid eternal damnation in hell. It's so simple even a child could do it, and it takes only 8 minutes a day.....
LEARN MORE...and SAVE YOUR ETERNAL SOUL for a mere $5,000.
Please note....that if you were in hell for only 100 years of punishment.....that would come to $50 a year, in other words about 4 dollars a month.
Isn't a 4 dollar a month investment worth not going to hell????
You'll be glad you did!!!

A constitutional amendment I'm afraid....Pascal must be in the special hell for unleashing such a shibboleth unto the world!
Of course he repented that he did so he probably got a pass! lol

Why get it banned, it's so crap as far as logic goes that it makes everyone laugh. Well it always makes me laugh and pleased at how easily I can think through it and dismiss it as crap..

While you're at it, ban the question about atheism being a religion.

Because not everyone here is a regular who is as sick and tired of the whole thing as you and me.
Would you ban the question I asked last night?
