With all due respect, Blaise Pascal worked all that out in the 17th century.

Yes, Pascal’s wager was basically “what have you got to lose?” And I’m simply adding to that: what have you got to lose by continuing to believe in God and Jesus, and also facing East when you pray, just to show God that you are so eager to heed His word that you’ll give a nod of respect to the other Abrahamic religion. After all, presumably you follow certain elements of Judaic law, Old Testament injunctions like the Ten Commandments even though you, as saved by Jesus, don’t really have to. You do it to show your love. So face East when you pray. Just in case. Why not. What have you got to lose?
