You want some logic? Here's some logic.

Believing in God cost you nothing. But not believing in Him could cost you everything.

Now, what's the logical choice? Why take a chance? Is it really worth losing everything just based on stubborn insistence of "But there's no proof"?

Other posters already pointed out that Pascal's Wager is a bad argument Pascal himself didn't mean for it to be taken seriously.

In fact, the first part can easily be debunked, and others did.

"Believing in God cost you nothing".
False. If your belief requires that you behave in a certain way you don't want to, but do anyway because your belief/faith/religion demands it of you, then you are missing out on things you want; and you may do things you don't want to do.
So believing in God could cost you a lot.

"But not believing in Him could cost you everything."
How? How can not believing in something that most likely doesn't exist cost you anything?
I know one possible answer to this question; but I'd like to hear your answer. After all, maybe you had something particular in mind when you said this sentence.

That is ridiculous.

My belief in God doesn't require me to do anything I don't want to do. Or anything I wasn't doing as an Athiest or agnostic.
(You seem to be confusing the belief in God with the ridiculous practices of some believers.)

If you don't believe in God, your luck and fortune could turn for the worse. And when you die, instead of going to Heaven, you will go to Hell.
