If you place [your bet] with God, you lose nothing, even if it turns out that God does not exist. But if you place it against God, and you are wrong and God does exist, you lose everything.

About This Quote

If you place [your bet] with God, you lose nothing, even if it turns out that God does not exist. But if you place it against God, and you are wrong and God does exist, you lose everything. People often think that there is something great about betting with God even though they are wrong. They are always right to try to make themselves feel better.

However, when they are wrong and God does exist, they lose everything. This is the lesson we learn in life: You can’t win when you bet against God so don’t bet against Him in the first place!
