New Rule

in General
You're not allowed to smugly bring up Pascal's Wager unless you've read the whole of the Pensées. "But Myrmidon" you say "Then no one will bring it up". That's the point

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Believe it or not, I have read the Pensées.

    It was years ago, though, and I remember practically nothing of it. Anyway I am not a gambling cow

    but what about the people who only bring it up earnestly?

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Then they are either very new to philosophy or have already read enough of the Pensées to have actual context.

    Speaking of which, the bit about how Christ suffers eternally is the most heretical thing I have ever seen declared by a mainstream Catholic apologist.
