      Yeah it’s the perfect con give 10% of your earnings for your whole life to me on the chance a story I made up is true.

      Also which God should you devote your life to? If you pick the wrong one your screwed right?

        Pascal’s wager is a defense of theism in general, not a specific flavor of theism. If you accept that there is a God, any God, then you can reason and argue about which way to worship her is correct.

        If you do not believe that God exists, however, then the particularities of which godhead you worship are irrelevant trivia.

        If God or Brahman or Kamisama exist, then they are aware of the imperfect worship flavors that they receive and have appropriate accommodations included, if they are worthy of worship at all. (Please note that Zeus is not included in this list, because that guy’s just a rapist bastard.)
