IMOW "Better to believe in God...just in case"

Blaise Pascal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager

It wasn't Pascal

I first met Pascal while taking hydralics in college....c1980

It was Pascal. He was writing for the Libertins of the age in which he lived, throwing down the gauntlet, so to speak. It was a challenge: If you bet on God and He doesn’t exist, you’ve lost nothing, but if you don’t bet on God and He does exist, you’ve lost everything.
