Document Summary
Can know something exists even if we don"t understand it. We know there is an infinite ignorant of his nature. Infinity doesn"t have a property of odd or even. Hard to understand something that has no limit. Know something exists without knowing anything about it. No properties of god that we can imagine. If there is a god, he is infinitely incomprehensible"; reason can decide nothing here" this is misleading. Pascal says you must wager bet i can"t really know if he exists or doesn"t but i can avoid picking one. Stakes are too high to avoid wagering. New question: if you have to choose one or the other, which one do you choose. 2 things to put up: reason and will. Our happiness and well being is at stake. Wager, then, without hesitation, that he is. The cost of losing just having a false belief. Is your life worse off because of a false belief.
