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 Mount.

If Jesus never existed, then nothing will happen. Are you absolutely certain that God is not there? Then take the challenge - if you dare!

If Jesus was a liar, then nothing will happen. Are you absolutely certain that Jesus was NOT the Son of God as He claimed? Then take the challenge - if you dare!..."

...and so on.

Basically, he is saying "OBEY THESE COMMANDS, and you SHALL know..... what have you got to lose?" (Pascal's Wager).
 
It sounds pretty much exactly like Pascal's Wager.

Whether you're a believer or an atheist, I think we can all agree that the principle is really gross.
