gollark: It works better on philosophers, since you can steal their wallet while they're distracted thinking about it.
gollark: They probably can't/won't eternally torture you, but there's a *possibility* of that infinite harm which is reduced by giving them £100, and if you accept the Pascal's Wager logic you should do that.
gollark: There's actually another similar thing, Pascal's *Mugging*, in which someone comes up to you and says "give me £100 or I will eternally torture you after you die".
gollark: But there are an infinitely large number of possible gods, and some do weirder things like "punish/reward entirely at random", "have no interest whatsoever in humanity", "punish people who believe in other gods", and all that, and Pascal's Wager just *ignores* those.
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".
