Pascal's Wager: A Message For Unbelievers To Ponder.

'Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.' Blaise Pascal.
I can't really agree with Pascal's Gambit, as this is sometimes called,  in the guise of simple guesswork - but surely it should prove sufficient motivation to 'seek to know the truth'. Moreover, you can 'prove faith' but only to yourself. 'Taste and see that the Lord is good.'

Birdie.
