Welcome to points with Aquinas. I'm Matt Frad.

So anyway, look, Aquinas gave me a call this morning. He's like,

Hey, Fraddy, I can't do it. I am super sick. And I'm like,

come on, man, everyone's expecting a podcast. It's like,

nah, can't do it. So I'm already in the pub, right?

Cause you call me on my cell phone. So I'm just walking around.

I think what am I going to do? These people need a podcast.

But and who should I see slouched in the corner?

Haven't a beer, but blaze Pascal.

Seventeenth century Frenchman mathematician philosopher.

And I thought to myself, let me ask him about his bloody wager.

Hey, hey, hey, so, okay, look, that was an elaborate beginning.

So thanks for sticking through that. A lot of you have been writing to me,

and asking me about Pascal's wager. And you all know I'm a fan of blaze Pascal.

So I thought I would take this opportunity to just address the wager.

So today we're not really going to be looking at Aquinas so much as we are Pascal.

Also, I want to let you know that I'm going to put up some diagrams and some quotations

from Pascal at pintswithacquinas.com today under this episode.

It'll be in the show. And it's just click the link and I'll take you there.

And you might find that helpful because we're going to read a little bit from Pascal

here and there, but not at length. And then also a diagram will help you understand his wager.

And I'll throw that up there again. That's pintswithacquinas.com.
