Pascal was a fucking moron. The sum of his argument was "bet on a god existing just to be safe".
Here is the problem with that bullshit,
Which one? To insure you got the right one you'd have to bet on all of them existing, and no one in reality does that.
Secondly, if you bet on a god existing and one does not, you have wasted your entire life on a lie.
Third, what does that say about your own morality to base your life on the fear of punishment, rather than question to insure quality of data. This "safe bet" is asking you to forgo any thinking for yourself.
Pascal's "contribution" to humanity was to fuck us up even more than we already were. None of this "wager" is good for humanity. It still sells ignorance and credulity.
