In order for theism to be true there only needs to be One God.

Yes, but you're not just a deist, like that smug little statement would imply, are you? You're a "biblical theist," meaning you believe in the bible god, correct? That puts you on the same footing as everyone else, and frankly I'm a little bit tired of you god wads expanding the scope of the argument away from what you actually believe when it becomes convenient to do so.

As for the OP, let me see if I can't clear this up for you: here's the actual table of odds for Pascal's Wager. It's not really the fifty fifty split you'd like to think it is.




Clear?
