Atheists: What is your opinion on Pascal's Wager?
It presents a false dichotomy assuming there are only two options when there are clearly more. I mean there are thousands of religions and many more religions that could exist and the true religion if there is one could be any religion. There are an infinite number of possible true religions and if there is a god et/it may in fact want you to not believe in et/it and for every possible superstitious reward for any behavior there is another equally likely punishment for that same behavior. Even if there is a god et/it may send everyone to hell or send everyone to heaven or send everyone to some other place or randomly choose who gets what afterlife. Pascal's Wager fails.
