[QUOTE="variant, post: 74222205, member: 114463"] Sure, but we disregard the fantastical bits all the same. The question is why. Go look through their records and compare it to what they were claiming back in the day. The difference is in the documentation. Sure but that's the essence of it. We subject people today to more skepticism of their claims because we can. The problem is that we [U]don't[/U] demonstrate metaphysical propositions as true, but we know people come up with religions all the time based upon metaphysical truths. The problem should be obvious. The wager is formulated on Christian theology, again, that's the problem. Part of Christian theology is the manipulative psychological attempt to get you into this sort of benefit-risk assessment in order to convince you, the wager simply highlights this fact. That also, problematically, says some poor stuff about Christianity. [/QUOTE]
