Talk:Loki's Wager
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Example?
It would be good to add an example here. Most frequently I'd see this kind of argument being made in theological discussions, i.e. over whether God exists, which would be sidetracked into endless debate over the nature of God (e.g. can God make a rock so heavy he can't lift it) which would result in never actually addressing the real question. Perhaps the most famous recent example would be Bill Clinton's quibble over "what the meaning of is is" which turns a simple question into some esoteric debate over the nature of existence. It might be nice to come up with an example that is theologically and politically neutral, but I don't think the anon's example quite captured the real meaning of the wager. -- Kendrick7talk 19:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
