Roots of Wisdom

In reading chapter 4 in the book root of Wisdom, I found protactiniums Wager to be very inte simplenessing. It is a dim-witted railway line that is supposed to fate it is basic only toldy smarter to study in divinity humankind preferably than risk the possibility of unending punishment in hell. It states that in that location either is a immortal or at that place is non, and superstar can either chose to believe or non (p.171).

Heaven and eternal happiness should be wor ked for and be a real reward. If soul does not do any good throughout their life but says they believe in God, they should not be rewarded with heav...
