In this paper I will explain and critique an argument known as Pascal’s Wager. I will explain the wager Blaise Pascal proposed to incline atheist and agnostics to believe in God. The Wager, “is not a proof of Gods existence” (Furman). I will give Pascal’s reasoning for explaining why choosing to believe in God is the best decision one could make. Pascal’s Wager is an argument given to atheist and agnostics to show them why believing in God’s existence is the right choice. This argument isn't…

Picture yourself walking down the sidewalk minding your own business, when out of nowhere a car whizzes past you barely skimming the tip of your toe. Do you look up and thank God, or do you refer back to Karma?

The right time and the right place. In The House of the Deaf Man by Peter…
