For those who dont know Pascal's Wager is the suggestion posed by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal that even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should "wager" as though God exists, because so living has everything to gain, and nothing to lose.what are everyone's thoughts on this?

One of the wisest things a philosopher has said in my opinion. Some would argue, "what God is he referring to?". My personal thoughts, is, God would rather you not believe in anything, than worship something that isn't him. Blessedly though, when someone says God, most of the world thinks of the Creator God. Even the false Gods have other names that aren't recognised as the name God. But now I'm rambling.
