E.Tarte--Fr.TJ asks, "What if I'm right and you atheists are wrong?" [View all]
Catholic Priest Tries to Use Pascal’s Wager in an Online Debate; An Atheist Politely Destroys Him
April 25, 2012 By Hemant Mehta
Edward Tarte has been having an online debate with a Catholic priest, Father TJ. (Incidentally, Father TJ attended the same seminary Edward went to before he became an atheist.)
The latest point from Father TJ is essentially Pascal’s Wager: “What if I’m right and you atheists are wrong?”
I love Edward’s response because it gets more powerful the longer you listen to it (begin at the 0:39 mark):
