Adopting Religion for fear of what may transpire post death?
#26
RE: Adopting Religion for fear of what may transpire post death?
The very problems with Pascal's Wager are that first, you have to actually believe that God and hell exist for it to have any effect, and secondly, you would have to follow every single religion that exists or ever has existed just so you can make sure you're following the right one. This is impossible, because many if not most of these religions have mutually-exclusive beliefs. You can't worship all the Greek and Norse gods because Yahweh says to only worship him.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
