Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
What Domer's saying--and it's extremely hard to tell as he's none too articulate--is what you said must be Jewish because there's no loss. Ironically, since you were explaining Pascal's Wager, Domer has recognized what Pascal argued.
What we have here is someone with typical non-Christian misunderstandings of Judaism and Christianity, that Judaism has no hell and Christianity does. That misconceotion of Christian hell is then misapplied to Pascal's Wager. Pascal was Christian so he just had to believe in hell and infinite doom, just had to. People hear what they want to hear.

Congratulations. You are the first poster to ever make the same claim I make. That GOD is AWESOME power.
I posited that on AOL forums by 2005. They used to grill me on what Awesome POWER means (you used energy which works fine) and my reply was take a very good look at the universe. Absorb it. Imagine nothing is there yesterday. Today it is there. I am not claiming it formed all at the same time, but it is said to start with the big bang. That is very awesome power.
