Common objections to Pascal’s wager
In this post I respond to some of the common objections to Pascal’s wager, keeping each response to under 100 words!

I really do wish though that at the end of our lives we could put our ashes up next to each other and have the “yep, you wrong” moment. What a freaking game changer that would be! Regardless of how the chips fall.
1) Eternal life is real?! Holy shit! Praise the lord! 10% tithe? Take 50!
or
2) Life really is over?! Holy shit! Hookers and blow time!!!!

Yep.
If you're right and atheism is true, you'll never know.
If you're wrong, you may get eternal misery.
You still sure you're "100% on the right path?"
Yep.

Yep. 100%. I’m a carpe diem kind of fella.
You should try to think long term for your own sake.
I’m good. Please stick with your view though. Sunday brunch is already busy enough.
One can attend both.
As a heathen, not in Iowa City! You god damn church goin’ sons of bitches have the damn right of way for parking on Market and Linn St. on Sunday mornings and JFC, you guys start your praying early. How am I supposed to sleep off my hangover and find a parking spot and get to my gravy slathered hashbrowns and eggs at the Hamburg if you’re in singing hymns until 11am?
You or they could attend Church on Saturday night or Sunday evenings.
Easy peasy, broseph.
You can’t heathen all weekend without starting in the Saturday AM broheim. I’m no quitter.
Dude, I don't know how you handle hangovers in your 40's.
I had like 100 if them in college. So dreadful.
I did it every way possible; joints, pipes, bongs, waterfalls.
I had maybe a decade if hedonism as well. Weed, booze, parties, a couple ladies.
It didn't do me much good except short term memory loss.
All over the world. All the time. Traveling now as a matter of fact which is why it’s easy to keep responding on a central time zone focused message board!
I mean, the sentiment may be true, but not because The Gospel Coalition says so. The Christianity they support has a history of toxicity. They don't speak for all of Christianity however.You guys (and gals) can argue amongst yourselves.

Christians aren't perfect, but they are immensely good for the world. Here are some receipts.www.thegospelcoalition.org
I get that and I get that is how a lot of people feel. As mentioned above, it is the opposite of the teachings of Jesus. He loved everyone. He didn't pick his disciples from the "best of the best Jews" he picked some fishermen, tax collector, and others deemed not in high society. Point being we all sin, no matter what it is and you are taught to love all people. Love your neighbor is one of the 10 Commandments and it doesn't say only if they are exactly like you.
The movements surrounding Trump's agenda seem to be from a place of hate and seclusion. As for politics, I have said many times that I am super frustrated with both sides and the divide of America. Civil discourse seems to be dead and the "if you're not with me you are my enemy" mentality is not helpful.
Yep.

I also don't hang garlic above my door just in case vampires are real.

Fùck that. Jesus was a socialist communist who hated the wealthy. Frickin lefty lib.
American evangelicals elect politicians who legislate to pollute God's green earth.You guys (and gals) can argue amongst yourselves.

Good for the world, lol.
that's what I told my parents. But 12 years of Catholic school and church twice a week. Jesus good Devil bad. I got it in 1st grade.Jesus did.
His message is pretty simple.
Sometimes in life I have to humor people about their religion. It makes some people seem like adult children to me. It kind of feels similar to what is done with children and Santa.
It's a secular culture. Christian's need to be in everybody's shit as if America was a Christian nation.
The worrying over the queer community is eating at ya.
From the article: "In addition to having flaws and sins, churches also have an Enemy whose primary weapon is lies."
This is true, but how come so many Christians fell in love with the biggest liar of all time? Donald Trump.
Every Christian is something else besides Christian. There are so many denominations, that really any time you make a statement that says "Christians are..." you're already wrong.
Christians accept Jesus as their savior, and that's about they only thing you can say and accurately lump them together (even that could probably be debated).
Even when they try to lump Christians politically, they talk about evangelicals...which is a poorly defined segment. About all I can figure is that they're talking about southern baptists, but usually only the white ones...
