| "God is or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separates us... Which will you choose then? Let us see. Since you must choose, let us see which interests you the least. You have two things to lose, the true and the good; and two things to stake your reason and your will, your knowledge and your happiness; and your nature has two things to shun, error and misery. Your reason is more shocked in choosing one rather than the other, since you must of necessity choose... But your happiness? Let us weigh the gain and loss in wagering that God is... If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation that He is." Blaise Pascal, "Wager." Pensees. France: 1670. |
