    If you believe in God and God does exist, you will be rewarded with eternal life in heaven: thus an infinite gain.

    If you do not believe in God and God does exist, you will be condemned to remain in hell forever: thus an infinite loss.

    If you believe in God and God does not exist, you will not be rewarded: thus an insignificant loss.

    If you do not believe in God and God does not exist, you will not be rewarded, but you have lived your own life: thus an insignificant gain.

    (Pascal's Wager)
