RE: Pascal's Wager Revisited

(April 10, 2015 at 12:56 pm)Faith No More Wrote: There is no dignity in believing in nonsense just because you find reality harsh.  Dignity lies in accepting that reality is not ideal.  Nearly every statement you've made here has been an appeal to consequence, which has no bearing on what truly is.  Just because you find the idea of this life being the one and only abhorrent, doesn't mean there is a magical paradise awaiting you after you die.  It's time to admit to yourself that you need the belief of an afterlife to cope with your fear of reality and that there is no dignity in clinging to an invisible security blanket as an adult.

Recall that we are dealing with a version of the Pascal's wager. The argument is that practical living as if there was an afterlife even if you are not sure of it makes sense.
