I would also add that Pasqual’s Wager seems to assume that the Christian God is what one should believe in, when this wager could be equally applied to Zeus, Odin, Amen-Ra, Osiris, Vishnu, and so forth.
Because this wager really doesn’t indicate which god and/or sect is the “correct” one, it ultimately has no real meaning beyond frightening people into spiritual compliance.
The point of my post is to show the O.P. that this style of thinking could be equally applied to atheism, and that he can legitimately choose to not be afraid of eternal damnation . . . if this is what he wants.
