Pascels wager was never "debunked", it's a fair critizism of that type of thinking. what's wrong with it

all it points out is "what if you're wrong you could go to hell" is an unsound argument for being religous

I don't think anybody builds their faith on "well if I'm wrong I'm going to Hell".

I just told you, it applies to all faiths, but yes, even I suppose to a lack thereof, but therein lies the issue, if you can apply Pascal's Wager to all beliefs regarding the afterlife, its usefulness becomes moot.

not saying anyone does, but some people use that argument on athiests

it's been used on me

It isn't meant to be useful in the first place.

Nobody bases faith on it.

It is just the hypothetical question

Then why did she give it as a reason?

a lot of people do mean for it to, I'm not saying you do

but I've experienced it

No one care in the end

Ask her if she builds her faith on it.

It's a catch-22, if that is your sole reason for being faithful then it isn't real faith.

Pathetic mental gymnastics.

I quite literally asked why those who believed did... and that was her answer... so now you're calling her a... liar?

Read above.

People don't use pascals wager for their own faith, they use it to try to tell atheists that they are dumb

Are you illiterate as well as a pseudointellectual now?

You have to ask me if I base my faith in a fear to going to hell

It’s that simple

Zexy, I'm not sure why you're so hostile.

Gwyn, so what is your basis?

Low tolerance for pseuds.

Namecalling is silly.

whats a pseud

I'm calling you a pseudointellectual. Hardly "name calling".

i need the name of the fucken song meme where its a charachter and its name and a short desc

halp

that's just trying to dismiss an argument rather then engage it

Dumb poopy head is namecalling.

He's calling me a pseudo intellectual because he disagrees with me and finds it easier to accuse me of overintellecualizing in a false manner than to actually engage with the argument.

someone help

My faith is based on accepting Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. I believe he died on the cross for all humanity’s sins. Hell got thing to do with it.

I found your criticism of Pascal's Wager a strawman, superficial, and irrelevant to faith as a whole.

You used at some kind of crux which I found idiotic.

Zexy, I used Pascal's Wager, because Gwyn brought it up.

I was talking to her specifically when deconstructing it.

because she used it.

So no
