Pascal was a genius of the first order. To imply that his off-again-on-again Catholicism made 'dumb' his natural state displays a stunning ignorance of his contributions to mathematics and physics.

Yes, his Wager his a hideously flawed argument, filled with holes you could drive an articulated lorry through, but so what?

Study up on Pascal. He was anything but 'dumb'.
