Try an experiment, see if this works for you:
- Pray. About anything, just to see if anyone or anything is out there.
- See if something happens.
- If nothing happens, you’ve wasted very little time or energy in checking.
- But if something does, my, what you’ve gained.
(If you recognize it, it is a variation on Pascal’s wager, except that instead of choosing to believe for no reason, we are seeing if there actually is a reason to believe, after all.)
