You can't coherently believe "there is a God" just because "if I don't, I might burn forever". Your belief in God then is only as strong as the chances you believe you will suffer everlasting torment if you don't believe in God. The chances of that being true based on all you know are at best 50/50 which is the state of agnosticism. This means that for all you know, God existing is a 50/50 chance but then you say from that we should have full blown belief in God. But to believe something is true, you need reasons that support the truth of that something. You can't believe something is true while recognizing that you have no good reasons to believe it is true. Belief can't be stronger than the reasons that support a belief. "There's actually a 50% chance God exists, but I believe 100% God exist" is an incoherent belief.but what are you risking?
An eternity is a long time.
So you answer a criticism of pascals failure by REPEATING pascal's failure.
Wow!
