3. If God exists, and I believe that He exists—I gain everything.
(Christian)
4. If God exists, and I don’t believe that He exists— I lose everything. (Atheist)
Essentially, Pascal is asking the reader, “Within the context of eternity, which is the safest of the following propositions?” The only winning position is #3.
