The argument from personal discomfort

[robvalue]

People can also shun belief because of consequences. That's the flaw in Pascal's wager. Belief comes at a cost. Not everyone is prepared or willing to pay the price. Its easier to deny the fact of His Lordship than follow Jesus. Its much more comfortable to face oblivion.

No, the flaw in Pascal's Wager is that it's absolute shit. It's actually a great argument for not being part of any religion, and for not concerning yourself with gods at all even if they did exist.

I've been meaning to do a video on just what a terrible argument it is. It not only utterly fails on every level, but explodes in the face of the person using it.

But you're right. Beliefs coming at a cost is one of the failures of the argument. Devoting any percentage of your life to a possibly entirely pointless endeavour is a gamble.
