aCookieJar: Why did you reject Judiasm and why did you embrace whatever you have embraced?
DaMoshe: a) I agree belief in G-d cannot be based on Pascal’s Wager. Though I understand that the opposite -someone’s belief in atheism- can be torn down (albeit not completely) using a simple logical wager, a wager that forces one to objectively consider the possibility of a G-d.
b) I agree that Pascal’s Wager does not come into play when deciding a religion. I specifically wrote in my post above that it gives a logical reason to pursue ANY religion. It won’t provide you with belief; it’ll provide you with tools that will help you believe something in the future. I wrote about this at length above. There are many other proofs, probably better ones. Though I feel that bringing up Pascal’s Wager would help reveal intellectual dishonesty in a discussion such as this.
