Makes no sense
The wager assumes that you can just turn on a dime and say you believe when you don't. Their god is so fucking stupid it doesn't know if you really believe or just say you do.
No one who doesn't believe can just turn it on, due to a threat. How stupid is this crap ?
What is interesting is that NZ has so little knowledge of and respect for religious faith, and that even proposing this OP he has such little regard for the depth of faith and what it means for people.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
