Not right

The wager idea has three component.
a) The probability distrubution
b) The wager, or cost, or benefit you pay to make the bet
c) The consequence, or reward, or punishment for getting it right or wrong

-----------------
The central idea is that it cost nothing to believe in God (which is totally wrong)

And it pays greatly if you believe in the right one. (which is only partially correct because it neglect the possible punishment for believing the wrong one)

It neglect the probability distrubution because of the above two reasons.
--------------
If we take the assumption that we do not know the distribution (agnostic),

We still know that
b) There are cost in believing, no cost in not believing

How do you define and measure 「堅實」?

Besides the point above, the decision maker can also have different attitude.
The Pascal wager assumes a Bayes decision maker.  The decision maker will always take a choice with the highest expected return.

In real life, people also consider risk.  People also consider the worst case scenario with the best case scenario.

Some are reward-driven, other focus on loss-avoidance, for example.

不可知論=神存在或神不存在
有神論=神存在
無神論=神不存在
不可知論比有神論或無神論對的機會都更高，錯的機會都更少。

問得好丫
那為甚麼這班貪生怕死的謂門徒, 在幾十日後卻變得膽粗粗, 唔怕死, 公然在聖殿講耶穌呢?
跟之前的行為大大不同了,
由死埋一邊變了行在前頭, 突哂頭

by ananlogy
不可知論=The earth shape is unknown
Flat earth 論=The earth is flat
Round earth 論= The earth is round

Can you conclude that the 不可知論 has a higher probability than round earth theory?
Can you see the err in logic?

-------------------------
不可知論 is ALWAYS wrong.  You can never be right in 不可知論!
It is an approach to problem (by not answering the question) but not an answer in itself to the question.

Both athiest and theist face the question but agnotic avoid the question altogather.  (But, can you really avoid it?)

Simple.  

You can make anything happen in a work of fiction.

The logic is, you are always a loser no matter the earth is flat or round.

Well, the Bible sure is a great fiction.
A group of people is told to write a story.
You do not know what I will write and I do not know what you will write. He does not know what we are about to write. We write at different places and different time and yet, we come up to the same story.
What is the probability of things coming up this way?

Firstly, they do know.
Secondly, if you have a council to decide on whoch book, the probabilty is high.

The SCMP wrote about the choper that crashed into the Victoria Harbour. The reporters of 蘋果, 太陽, 成報, 東方, 星島 wrote the same story. It happens because they are all writing on a FACT. Something did happen.

The gospels were already out there when the bible was canonized.
The church did not write the bible.

But you only have one newspaper, the Bible.

And it is known to lie through the teeth before.

The second problem of this is that it only shows what the reporters believe to have happen.  It is not definitive of what actually happen (or fact).

How trustworthy depends on the skills and knowledge of the reporters involved.

Bible's reporters (which they CLAIM to have many without proof) are known to be biased, have a vest interest (and they admit it), and they are uneducated in today's standard.

但係教會都一定會搵一d  favour 佢地既譯本. 可能正如另一個 thread 講聖經內根本無 church. 所以你都可以創教的. ... 而事實上都有很多人咁做..
