Yes, Pascal's Wager never made any logical sense whatsoever. In addition, it's nonsensical in a spiritual sense, a kind of dishonest bit of psychological judo. | ||

Bear in mind that the goal of Pascal's wager was to convert people to Christianity. That the wager implicitly assumes the Abrahamic God is the only one that can possibly exist is intentional. This kind of "dishonest psychological judo" is common to Christian apologists to this day. If you've ever been in a conversation with someone trying to convert you, it becomes obvious that they're just trying to find the one crazy logic trick or rhetorical flourish that will flip you. |
