To: little jeremiah

I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't,
Than live my life as if there isn't,
And die to find out there is.

That's what Pascal said. There are 4 choices:

1. God exists and I believe He does.

2. God exists and I don't believe He does.

3. God doesn't exist and I believe He does.

4. God doesn't exist and I believe He doesn't.

Which is the worst choice, and which is the best?


And a wonderful thing is that if a person chooses (1), God will reveal His presence and existence to the degree of personal surrender. So it's not "blind faith", it's realized truth. And that's the truth!
