Pascal's Wager (opens in new tab)

It's a nice idea until you realize there are tens of thousands of Gods in the world and throughout history. Even if you wanted to act 'as if God exists'.... which God? So it's not a coin-flip choice after all. More like a 10,000-sided dice.

A silly argument in my opinion.

- You don't really choose to believe something, you're either convinced or you're not.

- Implies you choose the right god out of thousands

- Implies - at least for the abrahamic god that is all-knowing - that it wouldn't know you were just pretending to believe and/or believing out of fear
