That's because Pascal's Wager presupposes that Christianity is the one true religion and it never occurs to Christians proposing PW that any other religion could be the one true religion (because obviously all those others are just heathen religions invented by Satan).

I did answer this at least twice already. If there are multiple believe or damned choices, then the atheist and agnostic is damned if any are true. So there is no difference in Pascal's wager for atheists and agnostics. For the believer of God, a choice must be made. There is only one clear choice. So the believer again has no difference in Pascal's wager.

Pascal's wager says to consider that there is God. There are many different versions of God and salvation to consider. Only the Holy Bible will prove to be true.

I am not sure about "love your enemies" That is beyond the golden rule.

I think it does occur to them; they just hope it doesn't occur to you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

You're still dodging the question. Why don't you follow all religions and worship all gods just to make sure you get the right one? You're assuming that you've chosen the only right one. Quote:Pascal's wager says to consider that there is God. I spent the first 30 years of my life not only considering it, but believing it wholeheartedly. Quote:There are many different versions of God and salvation to consider. Baseless assertion. Please prove your statement.
