Pascal's Wager a Perspective
Pascal's wager was conceived by mathematician Blaise Pascal. It in a nut shell says believe in God and you have nothing to worry about, do not believe and face eternal damnation. The problem I see with this is which God can you believe in the first place, if you were born in India you would believe in the many Hindu deities, if you were born in Saudi Arabia, you would believe in the Islamic form of God, if you were born in the west you would more than likely be led to believe in the Judeo/Christian God.
Another problem I have is this throws all intelligence and freethinking out the window. It instills you to say, hey I don't believe in the supernatural, but I am going to throw all common sense out the window and prostate my, self before a deity that cannot be proven, and anyone with a rational mind would not believe most of the claims and so called miracles in the Bible texts of Christianity.
here my youtube version of this post please comment on the video too.
