You can say whatever you want to justify the way you think. That's human nature.

This one wins the award for being both chillingly true and unintentionally hilarious.

Do you reject the idea that math and logic are essentially indisputable?

If so, then to be consistent you should pretty much avoid any attempt at rational discourse. But let's pretend. If math isn't correct, then how can we perform calculations of phenomenal precision? Why can we land a hunk of tin on the moon? How can we effectively engineer complex machines? How do we even know the earth revolves around the sun, and not the other way around? That cells exist? That water expands as it freezes because the molecules arrange themselves in an organized way? How do vaccines work, and medications? Surgery? Ballistics?

It's all math, baby. And Pascal's Wager has been mathematically disproved. It's also circular - do you understand the meaning of that?
