RE: Pascal's Wager and the Selfishness of a "Good God"

Its obvious that god is using the bible to let only the gullible into heaven. God prevents an uprising in his dictatorship by appealing to the ignorant and sending people with sense to hell. This is the only way the bible makes sense.

Even if I believed in the christian god, this is how I would see things. So I'm screwed either way.

This is stupid
