With all due respect, Pascal's wager is rather worthless for convincing someone to become Christian. The wager could just as easily be one about an evil higher being that will kill you if you worship him, yet reward you if you don't. ColinR 05:33, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- While I agree with you, the article doesn't actually make any claims as to the efficacy of the argument, and it's certainly notable enough to be included. I'm not sure criticism of the argument is really a suitable topic for this page; maybe for a page on the wager itself? Tsumetai 05:35, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
It says nothing about who to worship. It is equally valid when used in support of every religion that exists, or has existed. It might as well be arguing that people just worship the ancient egyptian deities - just in case.
