Listen to what the subject of this thread has to say on the topic, provided above, and reply to that, if you would.
To say that you believe in something adamantly but just in case you’re wrong you have a `Plan B,’ doesn’t that seem a little craven to you?
Ah, but Pascal’s wager is not about being an adamant atheist and then becoming a Christian to cover bets, so we aren’t talking about what Hitchens was talking about.
I’ll ask again: How is it that a person who is unsure whether there is a God or not is cowardly or intellectually inferior for betting in a way that prevents them from suffering the worst possible catastrophic failure?
If betting there’s a God is cowardly and/or dumb instead of a smart bet, then so is buying homeowner’s insurance.
