For millennia, human beings have been making all kinds of arguments for the existence of God, deities, or any spiritual being/reality  beyond the material world. One  of the most unusual of these arguments is the one made by French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), which came to be known as Pascal’s Wager. It is not based on a logical, epistemological, scriptural, or experiential evidence but on probability: if you believe in God and live accordingly, and it turns out to be true, you win infinite rewards. If it turns out to be false, you lose relatively little—some restrictions on your daily life, but you can still live a happy fulfilling life. If you don’t believe, and it turns out that there is God, you risk losing too much, e.g. eternal damnation in Hell!
