By the way, I've known about Pascal's Wager forever. I just didn't reference it as that. And I agree its a shallow argument but it sometimes helps people that can not think beyond the realms of logic and reason or physical rules and laws.
Well, isn't that
special!!!
I
could say it's because thinking beyond the realms of logic and reason is typically called a
fantasy, and that such fantasizing - while great for writing fiction - produces
nothing else of any use whatsoever.
I could say all those things, if I had the slightest inkling the person I was talking to was capable of grasping whatever small portion of reality they still have access to.
I have no such inkling - so I won't.
Happy close-to-spring day!
