    'Spock's Wager' states that if you are an atheist & discover there IS an...

    ...afterlife you get a NICE surprise -no? I mean if there IS an afterlife why assume it's the one the Bible describes when there's little evidence it contains much more than a few sparse truths? The Ancient Egyptians might have been right all along!

    Isn't this copy/paste rant just a restatement (and a poor one) of Pascal's Wager?

    Basically, he calls this the "Jesus Litmus Test" (I'll try and shorten it, as it is pretty boring) "This is a "litmus" test that Jesus gave, and He said nothing at all about having faith or believing. If you want to know if Jesus really IS the Son of God, then read and obey the Sermon on the...

    Did you know that a similar thing to Pascal's Wager can be used to argue for

    being an atheist? Christians sometimes try to use Pascal's Wager to argue for being a christian but if you change Pascal's Wager around the right way you get a kind of Wager in which it's best to be an atheist.

    Has Pascal's Wager actually worked on anyone ever?

    I'm sure it did in the past, but I see people using it in some way or another here on YA. Has anyone here really fallen for it? If you have, or to the people who use it: don't you realize that doing all that just to be safe from hellfire is selfish and hypocritical, and of course God being...

    Why do jeopardy players wager so much money in the last question when they leave...

    ...their answers blank? Even when they're unsure of the answer or just leave it blank "ie. What is...?". Why doesnt the winning person just wager nothing and win the game? assuming one is leading at 20,000, the others 18,000 and the first one wagered all her money and left the answer blank...
