Pascal says that it would be better to believe in God and reap the maximum benefits like paradise, we go to hell for not believing, or if there is no of God, we have lost nothing. He says your inability to believe is what's stopping you from believing in his bet or in God, so you should just assimilate and slowly start believing. I think it's stupid because it's set up like we know there's something there and we have a choice. If you were to believe in God through this bet, would your belief be genuine just by wishing for it, probably not. You have to question the bet when you take into consideration the number of deities and which one would be right using this theory we would expand its matrix many times. Then there's even the fact that your justification for choosing certain beliefs over others is irrational when they are just as possible in the current context.
