1. Does religoion really compliment science?

2. Could their deaths could be considered meaningless? If the Christianity is indeed real, then great, they died for a noble cause, but if its not, it seems to me that they would indeed have died meaninglessly. In my opinion, A. Christianity is wrong and there is no life after death or God. B. Christianity is right and all Christians "win" C. Christianity is wrong and we believed in the wrong God. In 2/3 there is no penalty. Im good with that. That argument is called Pascal's Wager. The problem with Pascal's Wager is, from the point of view of someone who would need to consider the Wager (i.e. someone who is not convinced of the existence of a God), the Christian God is not the only God who could exist.

Therefore the true form of the Wager looks more like this.
