[QUOTE="Kaon, post: 74260288, member: 407930"] Pascals wager is sophomoric at best, in my opinion. I think Thor, Odin, Semiramis as Diana/Cybil, Zeus...and all the other gods of myth exist. They just aren't the Most Highest God. So, Pascal's wager does ignore that these entities exist, and that despite the fact that a prime/Most High God exists, people can and will still choose to follow one of the lesser god for which they resonate. In fact, most gods over the eras and cultures are the [B]same fallen entities masquerading under different names - especially where they have established their nexus (pyramids.) [/B] If you believe that there are no other magistrates masquerading as gods on this plane of existence - throughout our history - then of course Pascal's wager is a compelling argument. However, Pascal in his academic learnedness couldn't see beyond the influence of Catholiccism as the power in his culture and time. [/QUOTE]
