Boston Legal - Lutheran - Pascal

I put Lutheran in the the search on youtube.com and came up with a clip from Boston Legal in which Shatner's character is trying to get out of going with his girlfriend to temple. His excuse is that he is Lutheran. Now when pressed he cannot explain what it means to be Lutheran, then again I fear that when pressed too many Lutheran's could hardly must a sound response. What he does do, in a scene right after that is offer his own version of Pascal's Wager. I have never been convinced that Pascal had much in his wager that could encourage true faith and a relational connection with God, but it is interesting to see it surface in this format.
