Pascal was silly. You cannot force yourself to believe in something that makes no sense to you any more than you can force yourself to fall in love with someone you find boring, ugly, and foolish.

Of course anyone who claims to be a believer because of Pascal’s wager has doubts so is not really a believer.

What “makes no sense” is the pretension that everything that exists, with its unimaginable complexity, is the product of nothing more than time + chance.
