Citing Blaise Pascal about agnostics.
Beginning with the agnostic´s assumption that "if there is a God... we are incapable of knowing what He is, or
whether He is," and "reason can settle nothing here a game is on", Pascal argued that the logical responseof the
prudent person to his ignorance is to bet your life on God´s existence.
If one does, then there are two outcomes. If God exists, then belief brings an infinite reward, and unbelief an
infinite loss; whereas, if God does not exist then unfounded belief costs at best nothing, and at worst, only a
finite loss of time and effort.
On this basis, Pascal´s conclusion is that the agnostic should bet upon God´s existence.
