This Pascal argument is so stupid: "if a person does not believe in God and God exists, they receive infinite suffering, this you should believe God".

If this argument is true, what happens when there are multiple religions claiming to follow the "proper God"?

Then the religion in which God is the most evil and punishing, the most bloody God, will have to be the right one to follow, because otherwise you will suffer the most by not following it.

That's where the silly argument of Pascal leads to.

It is mind numbing isn't it. Roko's basilisk has (slightly) more relevance. Credit where its due, he invented the calculator... but he should have stopped at mathematics. His was the day when Science, Religion, and Academia were all rolled into one.
