Actually, that’s the rub, they want you to ACTUALLY believe. Pascal never took into account that you were just pretending so as to please god. Well, a number of Catholics would say confession is enough, but most Christians require the whole thing.

False. Most Christians of course consider truly believing to be better, but not believing and still going through the motions is still good enough for almost all of them.

Really, go ahead and ask.

And I also read (can’t show you any studies) that if you start out not believing, but just go through the motions anyway, after 10 or so years you WILL actually start believing. It’s funny how the brain will change its mind to keep itself from going insane.
