Ask a Catholic

But you have wagered your eternity on the truth of the model you've accepted Mr. Pascal.
Personally, I can't see any eternity I'd want to hang around for.  You suggest there is something really really good in store for (yourself) believers, but you can't say what it is.  That's a pretty suspect bet.  We call it a pig in a poke around here.

And thus you have wagered on what you admit you cannot see. Your choice.

Says who?  You're buying the whole farm again.
Is lying an imperfection or perfection if God does it?  
    Do you contend there is a framework of perfection to which God must conform? You've got a call from Euthyphro on line 3.
If the Nazis are at the door asking if Anne Frank is in the attic?  God couldn't say, "no?"  He's that constrained?

I suppose we have to begin be defining God.

The reasons I'm not very interested in your explanations are that;

1. They depend on their exceptionally shaky premises for soundness.  I don't want to argue about first century "eyewitness" reports of miracles when we can't definitively figure out who shot Kennedy.  
   
2. The repetition of unfalsifiable assertions becomes tiresome after a time.
   
3. Others have fully refuted your arguments elsewhere unless they belong in 2. above.
   
4. I've seen your text walls.  Everything I've waded through depends on the 2000 year old eyewitnesses. (See 1. above)
   
   Of course you think I'm a dupe.  I disagree with some of your cherished fantasy life.

Then why bother posting in my thread at all? C'ya!

Gotta love the dishonesty.. I think I'm done wasting my time here.

If I have answered your question dishonstly, please show me how I did so.

Those were Jesus' last words.

1. Pascals wager itself is flawed i take the standard default stance of no god. Because there is no evidence. 

2. Define god...hm..... Lair, Vengeful, Hateful, Arrogant, Homophobic, Xenophobic, not all loving, Bigot, overall not a nice being, Murderer, Pedophile (because Mary)

3. It's dishonesty i already covered all basis of jesus pretty much not existing the writers more than likely seen other jesus like characters and were like oh we need one of those fucking people in the bible let's add him and they did it was pointless really pointless. The only real reason why they added him along with hell was to spread the belief and oh boy did it work.
