The following is a guest post.  It is a refrain on the reasoning of Paschal’s Wager.  Enjoy!


Standford’s Wager

You should go into Suspended Animation upon your approaching death:

  1. If you believe in Suspended Animation and that someday you can be resurrected, you will be rewarded with extended life on Earth;
  2. If you do not believe in Suspended Animation and that someday you can re resurrected, you will be dead forever;
  3. If you believe in Suspended Animation and that someday you will not be resurrected, you will not be rewarded, but you have not lost anything;
  4. If you do not believe in Suspended Animation and that someday you could have been resurrected, you will not be rewarded, but you have lived your own life and will be dead forever.
