      Pascal’s Wager is hilarious because it implies that their “omniscient” God is so stupid he can be tricked into thinking you sincerely believe. Sounds blasphemous to me!

      How about the fact he used his status as a conservative voice to skip the line and get priority experimental cancer treatments? Not only did he die, but somewhere out there there is another person dead or dying because they got bumped from the treatment

      I refuse to believe the pantheons of gods didn’t predict pascal’s wager and hide an antipascal clause like Matthew 25:31
