Why did you criticize the wager without actually reading Pascal?

Pascal's wager is nonsense because there are many religions and gods which could be right, but your deal makes sense. Here's your (you)

You realize this criticism instantly reveals you haven't read Pensees, right?

Sure, I don't care to read it if the guy comes up with such stupid arguments. That's the argument I've seen people explain, of course I'm not going to read everything the guy has written just to make sure every word of the argument is perfectly reproduced.

picking one is better than not picking one retard

Go back.

You seem to have bad luck though by missing those quads

I have and he himself offers a solution
>blame them for having made, not this choice, but a choice; for again both he who chooses heads and he who chooses tails are equally at fault, they are both in the wrong. The true course is not to wager at all.

don't

Because it's not Pascal who proposes the wager.

To me, every hope is gone, and all I want when someone say good luck is just about pure lust.
So I reply.

I'm thinking that if I had a normal sex life I would have normal sexual tastes. That's why I'm doing nofap to see if I can reset it.
If I can't have it all, I'll settle for my dignity.

Take no risks.

cmon good luck

good luck is GOOD, bad luck is BAD, there is distinction between the two.

not based

I tried reading the Pensees earlier this year, but I really didn't get much out of it.

did you get halfway? did you read it in order?

fuck off

I read it in order. My attention waned after about the halfway mark, when it became almost exclusively apologetics.

>when it became almost exclusively apologetics.
that's the point

This is stupid because when flipping a coin you fully understand what the two possibilities are. It’s not the practically infinite possibilities of what god or gods there could be, you could make up your own new religion that involves raping kids and justify it with the wager

Gotta cash in on the GOOD luck

no, you justify it by critically examining and comparing religions, which is what Pascal did

If I don't buy into the initial premise that Christianity is true, it's hard to get invested in more subtle theological arguments.

I feel similarly about GK Chesterton, who is clever and fun, but his deliberate apologetics are just not that interesting. The Pensees lured me in with general musings on life, and then went full on Jesus.

why do atheists always resort to vulgarity and bad faith arguments
also read Pensees.

>If I don't buy into the initial premise that Christianity is true, it's hard to get invested in more subtle theological arguments.
Pascal never stated that premise. The second half of the book is dedicated to proving Christianity, not going into "more subtle theological arguments."

Even the atheists who've read Pascal haven't read Pascal....

aight

I’m not an atheist

then what ARE you? You folks always say this exact same thing

agnostic, finding existing religions unsatisfactory and finding no reason to guarantee the existence of a god does not make someone an atheist

don't believe in God? You're an atheist

I said I didn't get much out of it. Six months on and I can't even remember details.

Why do people get upset at not knowing if something is one way or the other, I don’t see how saying god may or may not exist is atheism

are you a theist? No? then you're an a-theist
