When her friends have prior commitments at lunch, Iimi accidentally encounters Rick and Mike, discussing belief and disbelief. When Mike says that he should consider skepticism because he doesn't know whether God exists or not, Iimi explains the concept of Pascal's Wager and the proper approach you should take when… You Bet Your Life!
Post-Comic Notes:
It should
be noted that Iimi's presentation is a modified version of
Pascal's Wager. Certain parts of the original seem to presume Jansenist
tendencies (such as: "In the state of fallen nature no one ever resists
interior grace," which opens the Wager to accusations of "fake it
until you make it."). Iimi's take is more of a Mollinist approach,
trusting that God will reach out but emphasizing the importance
of using free will to respond when He does.
Rick's objections are the ones that always turn up on atheist sites that make fun of Pascal's Wager. The problem is these objections show they have a superficial focus.

Regrettably, I used AI for cover art and background scenery between Issues 184 and 277. I still use it (reluctantly) to create logos, doodles, and symbols because there are no non-AI logo-creation programs (suggestions are welcome). I've retained some previously used AI-generated images as “historic photographs” for consistency, with the intent of replacing them when possible. Any other appearance of AI after Issue 277 means the stock art seller I purchased from misrepresented their product.
The Cover is AI. The man playing Roulette is Blaise Pascal, as imagined by AI.
