In contrast to Pascal’s Wager Triangle, Pascal’s Triangle Wager argues that maybe God wants you to draw a triangle of numbers where each one is the sum of the two numbers above it, so you probably should, just in case.

    It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were “obviously” incorrect. It’s terrible logic because it discounts:

    1. God somehow doesn’t know you’re believing in him “just in case” rather than because of actual faith.
    2. The wager implies that you should be an adherent of the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.
