Ah, but I am sure that when Pascal wrote down beliefs, he was at least a bit more elegant...this latest post was plain downright nasty...

And I agree, when someone professes a devout faith and claims to be a dedicated believer, and then makes such a vile post, yes, they probably do have serious faith issues...thanks for bringing that to light...

It's my understanding that an insincere conditional profession of belief is unacceptable as a guarantee of eternal salvation. Accepting Pascal's wager as a basis for faith essentially acknowledges a fundamental flaw in faith. So it seems to me that Gargantua's judgment of others is not only very weak, but also a self judgment. His weak and conditional faith is unlikely a protection from that heavenly BBQ he apparently relishes will put others on the menu.
