PASCAL'S WAGER

PASCAL'S FAMOUS WAGER

Pascal’s wager is a good way to interest your friends in decision-making.

Make for yourself a table—three spaces wide and three spaces deep.

Put a title above it PASCAL'S FAMOUS WAGER.

In the upper left hand space of the chart write--
YOUR CHOICES. In the two spaces to the right put—

(a) GOD EXISTS—(b) GOD DOES NOT EXIST.

In the two spaces below and to the left put—
(c) I BELIEVE IN GOD—
(d) I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD

Find the proper place for

(ac) Infinite reward.
(ad) Infinite separation from God.
(bc) More happiness on earth.
(bd) Less happiness on earth.

Make sure you have these right, they are easy to mix up.
Ask your friends where they fit in this chart.
