Pascal's Wager

Pascal’s Wager: “If I’m wrong about God, I’ve wasted my life…If you’re wrong about God, you’ve wasted your eternity.”
Dear Pascal,
Considering your egotistical need to be right about your god, your irrational fear of hell, and your sadistic anticipation of the eternal damnation of unbelievers; I’d say you’ve already wasted your life. Furthermore, I wager that you will recapitulate your miserable existence for eternity unless you evolve beyond your ancient mythological mindset supported by insubstantial 17th century logic. If there is a god that is theoretically so benevolent and loving do you really think he would punish a person who is honestly incapable of suspending their ‘god-given’ powers of reason to adopt your blind faith while rewarding your pride, fear, and loathing with eternal heavenly bliss?
