Well, i tend to agree with Pascal's argument. In Pascal's "Wager" he essentially logically point out the reason to believe in God.
if you draw a table
If you believe in God and there is God: infinite happiness
If you believe in God and there is no God: Temporal (finite) suffering
If you don't believe in God and there is God: Eternal (infinite) suffering (ie. hell)
If you don't believe in God and there is not God: Temporal (finite happiness)
so in conclusion, as a wager, it's better to bet on believeing in God because you have a chance to have infinite happiness and if you lose, all you get is finite suffering. but if you don't believe in god, you get either eternal suffering or temporal happiness. if you add it all up, it's worthit to believe in God
