Pascal's Dilemma of Faith
Briefly

Pascal's Dilemma of Faith
"Faith is sustained by the occasional betrayal. ― Hoca Camide"
Pascal's wager presents a decision problem where belief in God results in infinite happiness and disbelief leads to infinite suffering. If God exists, believers are rewarded with eternal bliss, while non-believers face eternal pain. If God does not exist, believers only experience finite losses through piety but gain in faith. The wager's effectiveness has sparked various criticisms, including the multiple-gods problem and doubts over the genuineness of belief. The conclusion favors belief as the rational choice due to its compelling nature.
