The same applies to all the stuff that Dasa used to claim was true, and the same would apply to a Hindu or a Scientologist regarding whatever claims they made a ...[text shortened]... burial sites.

By contrast, there is not one jot of evidence of this "afterlife" you talk of.
You really are blind to the truth. You are no different than those who burn others at the stake.

I read the entire article. What wiki says about Pascal is NOT what Pascal actually said or importantly BELIEVED. Furthermore Pascal was not a Christian and as BDP pointed out it is only Christians, and usually right wing American Christians like you and Grampy Bobby, who use his work (which was basically an academic study in probability to help atheists understand religious people), as a means of trying to cajole contemporary non Christians into mouthing a pretence of faith.

Face it. I exposed your ignorance but then perhaps you are not bright enough to see it.

It could be old age clouding your reason. It could be hate clouding your reason. It could simply be a natural lack of intelligence that is the problem here.

You did nothing of the sort, you made a claim about Pascal that was incorrect, what you referred to was what Wiki was saying.

You can burn or you can be found righteous. This was the basis of Pascal's statement.
Yes I quoted myself. It is the original statement.

How is this saying Pascal was wrong? It is simply a paraphrasing of what Pascal said. There are two options in the afterlife. You will either burn or be with God.

Why must you constantly lie about what I post? I am guessing as a result of the hate in your heart.

Burning is not an option. Pascal was an unbeliever. Your doctrine is wrong.

Perhaps you can provide a different reference to the nature of Pascal's Wager.

I have provided one that describes what the wager is from every other conversation I have had on the matter.

Perhaps all those other people are wrong and you are correct. Please provide a link or description so I can google your source.

Oh, the irony.

If billions of humans burn in hell for eternity, that is the ultimate hateful act. To believe that's going to happen and yet complain about perceived hatred on an internet forum only shows you have utterly lost perspective.

An unlimited number of gods can be imagined, all of them having unique and mutually exclusive criteria for sorting the saved from the damned. One of them damns those who act like they are saved and others aren’t.

I'm sure this is true from your point of view.

You are free to believe as you wish. Just be consistent with what you claim to believe.
