Copy that ... it's gone viral on X today. Probably Ole Miss and B1G fans sharing it ... comedy value if nothing else.

This is an outstanding move by Trump!

How did you take that from my post?

Well ... I've spent some time over there.

True Lebanese and Israelis refer to themselves as white.

Egyptians, Saudis, Jordanians, Qataris, ... they do not.

Iranians (they do not like being called Persians) true old school Persian Iranians ... they have come on board the white train in the past 30-40 years, but they'll be the first to tell you that it's about genes.

There's a lot of inbreeding that goes on in Saudis land, Egypt, etc. They're big into the lineage thing and their african heritage.

So yeah, I do challenge your claim that most middle easterners refer to themselves as white.

I see. And what about it upset you particularly?

Nothing upsets me ... this is a conversation.

Show me where I seemed upset about any of this, and I'll show you why you need a remedial lesson in word and grammar comprehension.

And don't play the lack of voice inflection or facial expression game, young man.

Actually, something did upset me this morning. I got back from my walk with my dog, took a shower and, as I was getting out I asked my wife for a handy. She giggled and said no ... she had to go into the office. So I called my side piece and asked her. She said no, she had a fever, caught the flu, from one of her coworkers. So I told her she could wear a mask ... and she still said no.

That upset me ... but I was stoic about it.

I'll ask them both again, tomorrow.

Eventually I'll score.

You’re right; there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain in the choice he’s making.

It's known as Pascal's Wager.

quote:

---

Pascal's Wager presents the argument that it is rational to believe in God, even if the existence of God is uncertain, because the potential infinite gain of eternal happiness in heaven outweighs any finite loss incurred by belief if God does not exist. According to the wager, if God exists and one believes, the reward is infinite—eternal bliss in heaven. Conversely, if one does not believe and God exists, the consequence is infinite loss—eternal suffering in hell. If God does not exist, then belief or disbelief results in no significant loss or gain, as both lead to the same finite outcome: death and the end of existence.

The wager is framed as a decision under uncertainty, where one must choose between living as if God exists or as if God does not exist. Pascal argues that since the potential gain is infinite and the potential loss is finite, the rational choice is to wager that God exists. He suggests that even if one cannot initially believe, one can begin by acting as if one does—attending religious services, taking holy water, and living according to religious principles—believing that such actions may eventually lead to genuine faith.

However, the argument has faced significant criticism. One major objection is that it assumes belief can be chosen based on a cost-benefit analysis, which many argue is not how belief works; one cannot simply decide to believe in something for pragmatic reasons. Another critique is that the wager fails to account for the existence of multiple religions, each claiming different gods and afterlife outcomes. If one must choose among competing religions, the risk of choosing the wrong one—such as believing in Christianity when Hinduism or Islam is true—could result in infinite loss. Furthermore, some argue that a god might reward honest disbelief and punish feigned belief, rendering the wager ineffective or even counterproductive.

Additionally, critics point out that the wager overlooks the real costs of religious belief, such as time spent in worship, financial contributions, restrictions on personal freedoms, and the social and moral consequences of adhering to religious doctrines. Some also argue that true faith should stem from genuine conviction and spiritual experience, not from fear of punishment or desire for reward. The wager, therefore, may reduce religious belief to a form of self-interested calculation rather than a sincere relationship with God.

In summary, Pascal's Wager suggests that wagering in favor of God's existence is the prudent choice due to the infinite potential gain of heaven and the finite loss of belief if God does not exist. However, the argument is controversial, with critics challenging its assumptions about belief, the nature of God, and the multiplicity of religious options.
