I'd like all you who drink to have one on me, for my birthday!
Here's the question:
Since there are so many gods and goddesses, and there's no way to tell which ones are "real" except through faith, isn't it better to honor them ALL then to risk whatever bad consequences there will be for not honoring the right one(s)?

Shall we call this "Poytheists' Wager"?
2007-07-12 10:23:32 · update #2
Drat. Polytheists' Wager, that is.

Happy birthday!
Yes, it's a good drinking question because it's Pascal's Wager with a twist.

Since it's just logistically impossible to worship all the deities who've ever walked through human imagination, our only hope is to band together in poly-religious communities.
Which is what some folk around here have been doing. Too bad for those who choose not to join us.
Happy Birthday. Slainte mhath.

A variation on Pascal's wager.
You're going to have a hard time escaping the "No other Gods" clause that is so popular.

haaaapppy birthday kiddo :)
haha...urm
yeh but its like hedging your bets isnt it. each individual god/goddess will be a tad "raj" that you didnt go solely with them. they wouldn't feel all special.
i mean, nice idea and all, but you could've just said it was your birthday ;)

Argh, Pascal's wager turned on it's head. (It still makes no sense).
