Pascal's Wager is an argument dealing with the belief in God; the belief that it is in one's best interest to either believe or behave as if they believe in God to avoid the possibility of being punished in hell for eternity. "Rather than arguing for the truth of the belief in the existence in God, Pascal's Wager attempts to demonstrate the utility of belief in God." There are four possible outcomes that basically state...
1. Metaphysical ignorance: if there is a God, we are incapable of knowing what He is. Therefore, "Christians cannot be blamed for not being able to prove God's existence."
2. If you do believe there is a God, and He does exist, you will then be rewarded instead of punished. You lose nothing, and gain an eternal life in Heaven.
