gollark: Fine, fine, to <#348702212110680064> with ye!
gollark: Ooo, I have a relevant quote: "The best reason not to believe in the 'supernatural' is that nobody from Texas is harvesting it and putting it in a pipeline."
gollark: I mean, that's a bit of a ridiculous way to put it, <@!496688144046096404>, but it's not a sensible justification for believing.
gollark: This is of course silly, because:- there are many more possible gods than the rewards-you-for-belief-in-your-specific-thing- it is possible that a god will punish you for "insincere" wager-driven belief
gollark: Basically, it's the idea that, since there's a chance of god existing, and if they do you'll get infinite happiness if you do believe or infinite suffering if you don't, but if they don't exist you'll not lose much by believing anyway.
