The flaw in the Wager is Pascal's assumption that he knows how to get into this afterlife. There are so many differnt religions, which one should we bet on? Perhaps the only way to get an afterlife is to believe there is no afterlife. Bet away.
Suppose I should say something about the main topic.
Is this it?
No one knows.
If this is it, is it bad?
That is up to you, some people will find peace with it, others will embrace it and other get depressed about it. The concept - as most things - is subjective. In the end though, since we really don’t know what the future hold there is no real point in brooding over it, brood over something you are sure of, like the present.
