However, I advise you to look at what I consider his most trenchant work -- The Provincial Letters. He was quite unnerving to the Jesuits of the counter-reformation for their vanity and harshness towards traditional Catholics. Traditional Catholics disapproved of the moral laxity the Sorbonne was peddling in hope of restoring influence and power to the RCC.<br /><br />He was a genius in so many ways that those who mock the wager (that you reported on) only demean themselves by asserting they are smarter than he.<br /><br />Since you hold the wager in such high regard, it would serve you well to know something of his many other creations that have gone on to affect our world so heavily. <a href="http://pascalfervor.blogspot.com/2012/03/genius-of-blaise-pascal.html" rel="nofollow"><b>The Genius of Blaise Pascal</b></a>.<br /><br />I hope you will be glad you found me through Christine's blog.

But as I started to read through the comments here, the discussion quickly turned towards insults and argument. Sounds a little bit like my blog - but without the extreme human intellectual banter. Not that such a thing is bad, but we are simple people at my blog. Those who argue against my posts will always do so, and those who support my posts will usually always do so (unless what is shared doesn't agree with Scripture).<br /><br />No.. I prefer to read God's Written Word, the Bible and follow God's Living Word, Jesus Christ. After all, "the fear (meaning reverence) of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge."<br /><br />Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction. <br /><br />We are also told that the fool hath said in his heart, "there is no God."<br /><br />Psa 14:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.]] The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good. <br /><br />What's more, Jesus speaking:<br /><br />Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. <br /><br />Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophecies from the Old Testament in his first earthy mission, why would anyone in their right mind not think that he will fulfill all of the prophecies at the end of the age?<br /><br />Good luck with your site, Pascal Fervor.

The more the creation becomes needed, the easier it is to lord. <br /><br />For instance: your neighbor.

And who can withstand his demands if they want to be ready for the next generation?<br /><br />For instance, HAL 9000, Dr Chopra by proxy.

I invited it once, and it immediately cast aspersions on other guests and made ad hominem attacks. Not even original ones- "Coward" seems to be all it can muster, with a few meaningless slurs thrown in from time to time,and the bottomline is, there isn't a position it can take that can't be easily refuted, it knows it, and it will never be able to engage in civil discussion. It cannot be educated and is therefore not worth my effort- or, for that matter, yours, unless it amuses you.
