Pascal was on to something with his wager. He said you have four choices, with four consequences.

-there is no God and you believe there is; you live your life, die, and become dirt.
-there is no God and you don’t believe there is; you live your life, die, and become dirt.
-there is a God and you believe in him; you die and go to Heaven.
-there is a God and you reject him; you die and are judged.

Given the four choices, Pascal made a “bet” and choose to believe in God. Not the most touching testimony, but one nonetheless.

Philosophers argue that it is not a sound philisophical argument. They’re right. But does that change the four options?
