I see it recommended a lot on this board. I looked it up and saw it was a posthumously published unfinished work. Is it worth reading? I am a Christian, but the only books on Christianity itself I’ve read are the Bible and Mere Christianity. Could I jump into Pensees? Should I read something else first?

Stop being delusional. There is no god.

There is a god, but it's not Yahweh. Read Julian of Norwich first.

/fit/izen wojak is the best wojak out there, the one where he is in his room at 3 am pondering about life is one of the best most real things out there

No. Pascal's Wager is the devil's dialectical trick to rationalize your faith and condemn you to hell.

You’ve never read Penseés. You can’t just accept the wager and be a Christian. Pascal admits this. You have to pray, humble yourself, read the Bible, etc. If faith is not made somewhat rational at first, then why have faith at all? How can we convert people without first appealing to their interest of being saved?
