I'd rather live my life believing in God to die and see there is one. Because if there isn't one, it means there's no eternal life, therefore I will never know.

Summary

This quote expresses a belief in Pascal's Wager, a philosophical idea formulated by Blaise Pascal. It suggests that it is more advantageous to believe in God and live a religious life, even without definitive proof, because the potential consequences of not believing are too high. By choosing to believe, one may experience eternal life if God exists; however, if there is no God, one will not be aware of the absence of an afterlife. This approach prioritizes the potential benefits of believing over the uncertainty of not believing.
