Somebody asked a question about Pascal's wager. In the 21st century there are still Christian fucktards who agree with this bullshit.

Wikipedia: Pascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–62). It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.

Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas they stand to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (eternity in Hell).

--------------------------------

The question: "Does Pascal's wager ever make sense?"

I wrote this answer:

I "know" hell is not real. I "know" heaven is not real.

How do I know these things?

I have a brain and I use it.

Only reality is real. Everything else including every moronic religious fantasy ever invented, is bullshit.

"Pascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy"

If every philosopher in the world dropped dead nobody would notice and nobody would care.

Most philosophy I've seen is bullshit about bullshit. All philosophers have three things in common: They are full of bullshit, they contribute nothing to human progress, and they're too lazy to get a real job.

I suggest click the label "philosophy" and also click this link:

"Philosophy is a disorder that causes people to ponder pondering, rather than go out and get a job."
