Drew's Question 2: Shouldn't you worship the cruelest God imaginable? If Pascal's wager is about maximizing reward and minimizing punishment, inventing a maximally cruel God improves the wager by creating a true dichotomy.
Presenting Drew's argument — Pascal's wager and cruelest God
Drew argues Pascal's wager creates a false dichotomy between one God and no God. He proposes inventing a maximally cruel God: if he exists, non-worshippers get the worst hell; if he doesn't, the worst that happens is a lesser outcome. He claims this uses the same logic as Pascal's wager but eliminates the false dichotomy.
