The idea of Pascals wager is that you lose nothing by believing. Its all either benefits or at least no drawbacks. In much the same way, Meta has only benefits (or at least no drawbacks) by letting deniers advertise.
Well not exactly. The wager is more like, “if God is real, there is an infinite punishment or reward in the afterlife.” So, sucking it up and going to church incurs a finite penalty in this life for an infinite reward in the next. On the other hand, ignoring God and seeking earthly pleasures may have a small positive impact on your life, but in the next, you go to hell and have an infinite punishment.
Not sure what that has to do with Pascal’s wager? That’s specific to God
