![]() ![]() I also don't know how to go about rejecting infinite utilities if it turns out I have to. I've also heard the argument that we should reject all infinite utilities – for now it seems to me that Pascal's Wager is the only example where the probabilities don't cancel out, so I don't have any paradoxes or inconsistencies, but this is probably quite a fragile position that could be changed. It seems quite clear that the probability of a god that matches the god of existing religions is far more likely than a god that is the opposite, therefore they don't cancel out because the expected utilities aren't equal. I have heard the argument that there could be a god that reverses the positions of heaven and hell and therefore the probabilities cancel out, but this doesn't convince me. I'm honestly surprised there isn't much discussion about it in this community considering it theoretically presents the most effective way to be altruistic. I am a utilitarian and I struggle to see why I shouldn't accept Pascal's Wager. Any religion that says different-leave it to Pascal.Edit: To clarify, when I say "accept Pascal's Wager" I mean accepting the idea that way to do the most (expected) good is to prevent as many people as possible from going to hell, and cause as many as possible to go to heaven, regardless of how likely it is that heaven/hell exists (as long as it's non-zero). Here’s the real deal: God or no God, kindness, justice, and love are what matter. Better to go to hell for love, then hang out in heaven with the haters. And if you choose wrong and you are punished despite being kind, just, and loving, know that any God who would do such a thing wasn’t worthy of your allegiance in the first place. Bet on a God or religion because you find this God and religion makes you more kind, just, and loving. Don’t bet on a God or a religion out of habit or because of a carrot or stick. Now what? I placed a wager, but I wagered wrong! I am going to hell not because I chose not to bet on God, but because I bet on the wrong God. Let’s say that the true God is the Catholic God, and the true religion is the Catholic religion, and there is no salvation outside this religion and the belief in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. And let’s say that this God-the God I’m betting on-isn’t God at all. You and I live in a global community with many gods and many religions and many divine commandments, and we have no way of knowing which God, religion, or set of commandments is THE TRUE God, religion, or set of commandments.įor example, let’s say I accept Pascal’s wager and bet on the God of my youth: the Creator of Heaven and Earth who chose the Jews from among all peoples to receive his one and only revelation-the Torah-that obligates us to 613 commandments. The problem is that you have no way of knowing which God to believe in.įor Pascal there was only one God-the Catholic God- and only one set of commands: those mandated by the Roman Catholic Church. The problem isn’t with his logic, however. With this in mind, Pascal’s wager goes something like this: Even if you don’t believe in God, you should still confess a belief in God and follow his commandments because even if it turns out there is no God, you really haven’t lost anything, whereas if it turns out there is a God, and you chose not to believe in him, you are screwed. Of course, this spiritual carrot comes with a no-less-compelling stick: reject God and violate his commandments and you will be punished: if not in this incarnation, then in the next, if not on earth, then in hell, if not on this plane, then on a lower plane. This proposition is at the heart of all God-centered religions. ![]() Pascal’s wager, formulated by the 17 th-century French philosopher Blaise Pascal, is based on the notion that if you give your life over to God, God will reward you-if not in this incarnation, then in the next if not on earth, then in heaven if not on this plane, then on a higher plane. ![]() |
