HubertManne ,

I always took pascals wager as just being about some nebulous creator type of thing with no real specifics because the argument can't really handle specifics.

It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were "obviously" incorrect. It's terrible logic because it discounts:

  1. God somehow doesn't know you're believing in him "just in case" rather than because of actual faith.
  2. The wager implies that you should be an adherent of the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.
HubertManne ,

HubertManne ,

hikaru755 ,

the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.

I think it would be rather the opposite, should be the one that promises the worst fate in the afterlife to non-believers
