RE: [vpFREE] Re: People That Live in Brick Houses Can Throw Stones

True. Another big issue is the fact that going through the motions and saying the right words isn't quite the same thing as believing. Not by a long shot. The whole faith thing is kind of the point, at least with most Christian religions.

I'm not getting into whether those with faith are right or wrong, only pointing-out the fundamental error in Pascal's Wager. He loses either way, at least according to most Christian religions.

And if you believe in reincarnation, there's freeplay involved!

Seriously though, one of the basic problems with Pascal's Wager is
deciding which of many possible conflicting religions to follow.
