I still don't know what it has to do with drinking. Am I missing something?

The drinking came along because this question was being asked over and over again. So since people are not reading the similar questions and just keep posting the same question, they decided it would be a drinking game to make the montonary at least fun. I don't drink so I usually just answer the question.

different than that through definition, maximum of those gods are jealous ones and could punish you for "sound asleep around" so you might communicate. whether Pascal's wager is improper because of the fact which you do lose some thing; actuality. in case you compromise for Christianity because of the fact in case you're suitable you visit Heaven and in case you're incorrect, so what, you're ineffective in any case, you omit out on a elementary area of life; the pursuit of authentic actuality. in case you compromise for Christianity and are incorrect, you lose on a life time of attempting to locate authentic actuality; in simple terms because of the fact there is no god does not recommend there is no factor to life. you have got made judgements all your life in keeping with Christian ideals that have been incorrect and lead your self and others further faraway from what grow to be authentic, probably inflicting much extra injury and suffering because of the fact of your fantasy and the variety you expressed it. it is the reason Pascal's wager is improper.

I read it along with game theory, and the whole thing sounds like an overblown interpretation of inference to the best explanation. Really. In the face of two competing hypotheses, most people will go with the one that is simplest and easier to accomplish a goal with. Excuse me. I have to go heat up my coffee, and finish watching "Back to school" with Rodney Dangerfield.

TJ disproved it 200 years ago:

“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear”
- Thomas Jefferson

no, thank you. The Word of God is what is
important, not some mans words.
Christ said in Mark 13: "behold, I have foretold you all things"; that means all things. I don't need pascal to tell me some
new revelation, since there aren't any.
Thank you anyway.
