The wager
The philosophy uses the following logic (excerpts from Pensées, part III, §233):- "God is, or He is not"
- A Game is being played... where heads or tails will turn up.
- According to reason, you can defend either of the propositions.
- You must wager. (It's not optional.)
- Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing.
- Wager, then, without hesitation that He is. (...) There is here an infinity of an infinitely happy life to gain, a chance of gain against a finite number of chances of loss, and what you stake is finite. And so our proposition is of infinite force, when there is the finite to stake in a game where there are equal risks of gain and of loss, and the infinite to gain.
If there is a God here's your choice.
1. Reject God and spend eternity in hell being tortured.
2. Kiss God's ass here on earth and accept Jesus as your Lord and savior and go to heaven where you will continue to massage his insatiable ego.
If there is a just and merciful god he would not torture anyone for any amount of time even hypocrites like Christians. This world is full of suffering and our only hope is to destroy God. God causes suffering.
The amount of suffering on earth is immense and the only thing that will end it is science and reason and not the belief in this monster humans refer to as God. God is a liar and here's proof.
1) And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22 NAS)
2) Ask and it
will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened
to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and
to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8 NAB)
3) Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on
earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father
who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I
am there in their midst. (Matthew 18:19-20 NAS)
4) Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain,
'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but
believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I
tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and
it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 NAB)
5) And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and
you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks,
receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will
be opened. (Luke 11:9-13 NAB)
6) And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that
the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I
will do it. (John 14:13-14 NAB)
7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask
for whatever you want and it will be done for you. (John 15:7 NAB)
8) It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and
appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask
the Father in my name he may give you. (John 15:16 NAB)
9) On that day you will not question me about
anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he
will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you
will receive, so that your joy may be complete. (John 16:23-24 NAB)
A lot of Christians ignore what Jesus actually says in
the Bible. They also tend to add things to the actual words to make them say
something else. If you honestly and truthfully read these quotes, without
adding to them, it is very easy to see that Jesus is not saying that God will
think about your prayers. He says God will grant all your prayers. Clearly,
God doesn’t grant all prayers and this proves that Jesus was a habitual liar.
