How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

    Yes, but your “not god” is simply a different deity. So it’s a different proof. We’re back to the faulty premise.

    “God X” and “God Y” are equally valid assertions which violates the premise. I don’t care that you call it “anti-God” since you’re making it equivalent to a god and able to offer eternal rewards. Your entire logical argument is absurd. Pascal’s wager is famously known for suffering from false premise of finite loss and infinite reward. All of the absurdity of the wager comes from the premises which you continually ignore.

      Yes it is a faulty premise that’s the point! I guess I wasn’t clear there. It’s designed to point out the issue with the logic by saying “this works for you because you already believe there is God, but the argument does not prove God, and I can just throw in anything in its place and it is equally valid to demonstrate that. Therefore, it is not a good argument.“

        Faulty premise isn’t a logical fallacy though. That’s my whole problem here. False premise doesn’t mean the logic is invalid. This is an important concept in formal logic. The argument is fine. The foundation is not. You’re just now agreeing with what I originally said.
