True, although I don't see Douchebag Donald as even pretending. The Evangelicals just adore him, for whatever reason. I do think that pretending is a core feature of the Anglicans, however.

The Al Gorians are unable to comprehend that periods like the current interglacial period are relatively short lived. I know this chart will be shocking to Al Gorians ... IF they can read it.

Climate science denial fits in perfectly with all the other prejudices the elite have against you unwashed, uneducated, rural, superstitious Republican trash. Take every backward ass and distasteful belief and glom it all together, its basically the Republican party official platform.
I don't think you understand faith.
The cost of being a Christian is minimal.
Then you should see that Pascal's wager is fallacious as he failed to account for all the "costs" associated with faith.
I don't feel any guilt for having sex outside of marriage. I will never have to sell my daughter to her rapists. I don't have to make my wife camp out in the yard during her period like you do either. But more importantly, I don't have to deny science.
Of course, most of you don't think you should really bet on your ridiculous beliefs and Pascal's wager is treated as little more than tongue in cheek nonsense.
That it is a fallacy is your opinion only.
Pascal thoroughly defended his position.
Pascal addressed the cost of belief as minimal.
Tsuke described the cost as restraint from amoral behavior.
Perhaps you should have considered his entire statement as it was stupid
Dude
Can I get drugs like you use and not end up a junkie bitch like anatta?
'Cause you are high as a kite.
The cost is at least as high as non belief. Your faith in Christ risks your eternal damnation according to several other faiths which you could have chosen to follow. That's an opportunity cost.
Pascal's wager is a joke and fallacious for lots of reason "opportunity costs" is the most obvious.

By ignoring all the costs associated.
I responded to his entire statement and pointed out that the cost is the rejection of reason, not morality.
Tsuke's argument seems fallacious in it's own right assuming that the Bible's moral code is correct but he is right about the opportunity costs.
So now you rebuff Tsuke's stupid comment?
No.
Opportunity costs could be applicable to green energy (except it would be incorrect) but not to faith.
Again this is not true.
Pascal defended his statement that the cost of faith is minimal.
Yes, I see that and you're wrong.
That is circular nonsense which makes your wager meaningless. Apparently you think you are only at risk if you do not believe whatever it is you wanted to believe.
Don't care. Your faith risks eternal damnation according to some religions just as my non belief. The fact that you have created your own faith to support your circular nonsense actually refutes Pascal's wager, and presents another opportunity cost which he failed to consider.
