22) Pascal argued that even though we cannot know, we should wager that God exists. If he exists and we do not believe, then we go to hell. So, given that we do not know, we are better off believing. But on these grounds shouldn't we believe in all the Gods that have ever been worshipped? After all, if you wager and bet on the wrong God, what then? What does God think of gamblers?

23) Is there really such a thing as "faith"? Or rather, are there only good and bad reasons for what we believe? Do we use the word "faith" when we only have reasons of the latter kind?

24) Does something greater than us--God--give human life meaning? What, then, gives God's life meaning?

25) Have you believed for most of your life that there is an all-good, all-powerful God who created and who sustains the world? If you have believed this through faith, then is it not equally possible that the world is created by an all-powerful, evil demon? Might not the favorite trick of this demon be to make you believe he is all-good, as well as all-powerful? Might the "saved" be precisely those people who do not believe?

26) Even if we die and find ourselves in heaven, does that prove God exists? Is it not possible that the right combinations of chemicals and hallucinagins can make you believe you are experiencing God's love? How can you ever be sure? Or cannot an all-powerful God re-wire your brain to make you believe or feel anything?
