It smuggles in presuppositions. It assumes that if God exists, he will reward your belief no matter the reason for that belief. It operates on the assumption that life is a big test by God to see if you pick the right belief and then assumes God will reward you. It also simplifies all religions into a binary Yes/No. I mean, seriously, just look at Christianity itself, so many different sects have rigid beliefs that delineate those who are saved and those who have gone astray. But the most important thing is this: it frames God as a scummy used car salesman who will take the most cynical, selfish motivation as long as you are willing to submit yourself. Just imagine this, under Pascal's logic, a total sinner who hates God and doesn't even believe in him can be saved just so long as he makes the bet because he has nothing to lose, whereas the conscientious atheist who lives morally but simply can't bring himself to believe in the concept put forward by people regarding God gets punished. The wager itself is enough reason not to respect any God willing to accept it.

Roll up! Roll up! Take your pick or spin the wheel! Will you burn in hell for picking the wrong God? Will you get the 1 in a million right answer and get eternal paradise? Will absolutely nothing happen for you once you die? Pick a card, any card!

Your Jew god that damns people for committing suicide is no more likely to exist than a god that rewards people for committing suicide and punishes people who don't commit suicide.

Christcucks are also atheists who have other hells to worry.

Just go do good deeds
Don't hurt others
Try to have as less as attachments you can have with phenomenal world
Eventually death will get us
Then we will see or don't or whatever

Aren't Christcucks just egoists who are acting in their own self interest by trying to avoid hell?

>How is that? Shiva can be just as real as Iblis and Aphrodite.
This is just an example. In my opinion a religion that states that there is single God who gives salvation and there is no salvation apart from him cannot be claimed to describe the same order as religion that claims that there is salvation apart from it or that there is no salvation whatsoever. It's retarded to believe that all religions are similar to that extent that all can be true. Also that would mean that they are right apart from the belief that they are the only true religion (eg most o Christianity). Why would they be right about everything else except this thing?

The only religions/theologies that make any sense are Simulationism and Singularitarianism. If a god really does exist/will exist, it's probably a superintelligent AI.

How do Christians?

Why should I choose Christianity over all other religions that exist?
