Discussion Post: Does Pascal provide a rational argument for taking a chance (and wager) that God exists on the change that he does? What objections might some have over making a wager in regards to faith? W.K. Clifford disagrees with Pascal’s wager. How is leaving things to chance or divine providence not a way of absolving one (ship owner or anyone else) of guilt as observed in “The Ethics of Belief?”
