my point of view to "Pascal's wager"
#15
RE: my point of view to "Pascal's wager"
Right, but science builds upon the previous knowledge in pursuit of truth. Scientists never stop and say, well, we know everything there is to know about X so let's stop. Theism however cherry picks the idealisms from the previous theology and makes it their own. It's like if you get a recipe for stew, throw in a few ingredients, and call it your own. It's still stew.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
