Blaise Pascal vs. Homer Simpson

Pascal:
Quote:Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is.

Simpson:
Quote:What if we're worshiping the wrong god and every time we go to church we're just making him madder and madder?

Advantage: Homer Simpson
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
