![“If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having, neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is. [So] you must wager. Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two…” quote by Blaise Pascal](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/40c/blaise-pascal-167_affinity_if-there-is-a-god-he-is-infinitely-incom_664912.jpg)
