Paschal's Wager re-formulated mathematically: why being Christian is Rational.

RE: Paschal's Wager re-formulated mathematically: why being Christian is Rational.
(July 24, 2023 at 4:30 am)Nishant Xavier Wrote: Given the above, if Christian Theism vis-a-vis Marxist (or other) Atheism is even 50-50, i.e. Christianity has a 50% probability of being true, and 50% one of being false, it in fact logically follows that being a Christian is the more rational choice. [

God, on Judgment Day: "Why shouldn't I send your ass straight to hell?"

Xavier: "Because I believe in the death and resurrection of Your Son Jesus Christ."

God: "Did you come to believe in this by your free will cooperating with the grace of justification bestowed by My Holy Spirit?"

Xavier: "Actually, Lord, I ran the counterfactuals through a weighting process using game theory and settled on this as the optimal position."
