According to Pascal's famous wager, ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pascal's wager argues that it is better to believe in God and live a virtuous life, even if there is no proof of God's existence, because the potential reward (eternal life in heaven) outweighs the potential cost (not believing and facing eternal damnation). Option A best summarizes this argument. Option B is not in line with Pascal's view, as seeking forgiveness near the end of your life is not a reliable strategy for gaining eternal life. Option C is also not in line with Pascal's view, as he argues that it is better to believe in God than not to believe. Option D is not related to Pascal's wager.
