It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either\u00a0exists\u00a0or does not. Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas he stands to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in\u00a0Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (an eternity in\u00a0Hell).
