As I understand it, Pascals wager says you you should believe in god because you might win and cand can't lose (simplified I know) but by the same argument you should also believe in ALL the other thousands of gods people have believed in in the past.
Makes no sense

The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
