ReplyDeleteDQ: The Gambler's Argument states that a good gambler would believe in God so that the winnings are more than what you lose. However, if you believe in one God, how can you be certain that it's the right one? Many religions say that if you believe in any other deity, then you will not be granted whatever the benefits are of afterlife in that religion. So by that logic, wouldn't a good gambler then choose NOT to believe in God?
