gollark: Pascal's Wager might work if the only options are "no god" or "one god, and it's the one you believe in, and they'll reward you if you believe and punish you otherwise".
gollark: Also, I should be specific, "a god and associated religious claims", not just "a god".
gollark: Pascal's Wager is really stupid.
gollark: > I’d rather just have faith and get on with my lifeThis seems like a bizarre attitude, since if you... don't actually have evidence for a god at all... it's really weird for that belief to affect your decisions.
gollark: I'm not sure what you would call them, since "antitheist" is taken for "against belief in god".
