Revision as of 17:57, 5 March 2003 by TUF-KAT (talk | contribs) (response)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Simply writing Pascal’s wager off as a false dilemma shows how clearly opinionated this article is, and shows clearly that the writer DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GOD. God the Creator is One, and is the God described in all the monotheistic beliefs, such as Islam and the Jewish faith alongside Christianity.
Claiming that a different kind of god may exist than the God, who has presented Himself to mankind through the prophets, is even more preposterous that claiming that there is no God at all.
Therefore Pascal’s assertion that to deny the existence of God one loses everything (i.e. will abode in Hell for eternity) is clearly true, when God exists. And indeed, as long as one is not forced to martyr oneself for one’s faith, one loses nothing by believing in God.
- I'm not sure I understand your argument, but if you have something to add to the article, feel free to do so. Specifically, I don't see what makes you certain that the God of Abraham is the only god that could exist. What proof is there than Hinduism or Shintoism isn't the correct religion? In addition, plenty of people believe in the God of Abraham but don't believe that nonbelievers will be damned to Hell for all eternity. What proof is there that any of these belief systems are correct? None, they are all based on faith. Tuf-Kat
