I always took pascals wager as just being about some nebulous creator type of thing with no real specifics because the argument can't really handle specifics.
It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were "obviously" incorrect. It's terrible logic because it discounts:
ooh I like point 2. i have a new question now for thiests. well ya know allahs offering me a harem of 72 comely virgins. whats your offer?
72 sluts.
im listening.
I think it would be rather the opposite, should be the one that promises the worst fate in the afterlife to non-believers
