I will quote from the original article:

“Considering the possibilities, even if there is a 0.00000001% chance God exists, it makes more sense to believe in God. Because the benefit is infinite if we believe, and the punishment is infinite if we do not believe. If God turns out does not exist, we will only lose a small amount which we wouldn’t even be aware of after we die.”

So, again I ask, reward v punishment, is that a reason to believe?

My answer is, no. To believe because I will be punished for not believing is not a reason to believe. It is a reason to pretend to believe, it is a reason to fear not to believe, but it is NOT a reason to believe.

Not to me.

Take care.
