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

[Nishant Xavier]

Paschal's Wager is garbage if I'm right you lived a lie and if you're right I lose nothing anyway.

How so, to the bolded? I didn't even bring Hell into the equation above, but perhaps that would be like -1 TN Dollars. So not only the opportunity cost of not gaining the actual 1 TN, but also that of losing a further 1 TN eternally. What I said is absolutely true and logically follows. If Christianity and Atheism are but equiprobable, i.e. 50-50, it's logically and mathematically demonstrable Christianity is the more rational choice.

Choosing box B will give you the opportunity (

just the opportunity) for a good education, a satisfying career, and a happy home life.

Of course, those are things Christians can have too, and do have in many cases. We wish them for our Atheist Friends too, as we wish them also Eternal Happiness. But that does nothing to show that, the situation being as I stated, Atheism is more rational to choose than Christianity. For Atheists to show that, they would have to show that the probability of Christianity being true is vanishingly low, as in the case of your example Box A. If it's even 50-50, as I said, then Christianity is the more rational choice, just as I explained with the dice example? Which would you choose in the dice example, Brian, if 1-3 offered you 1 TN Dollars, and 4-6 1000? I think I know, but you tell me.
