[QUOTE="variant, post: 74220435, member: 114463"] The justification for the "immersion" part of Pascal's wager comes from the general proposition by Pascal that what you are doing with a christian lifestyle is definitely both a good lifestyle and good for you, both personally and morally. As I stated earlier, I value my autonomy and agency more than promises lacking evidence, but I could add to this that I also think that making moral decisions, not because you think they are objectively the right thing to do, but instead do so because you have been convinced to do so by people you think are speaking for God, actually cheapens WHY you act in a way you consider right (if you can indeed accomplish as much in your own eyes).
