Original artwork description:

Pascal's Wager looks at the theory put forward by philosopher Blaise Pascal that one should believe in God because if God doesn't exist then there is no real great loss. However if God does exist the you be rewarded with heaven and avoid hell. I see this as rather a cheap trick of selling religion to the unsure. That is why Jesus is painted on cardboard with a for sale sign attached to the top of the cross. the cross is askew representing how man is moulding belief to his own purpose. In the back ground there is a mixture of a hellish and heavenly landscape. Underneath blank space representing what really happens when you die.
