To me, the most underrated counterargument to the Pascal's Wager is that it ignores that your actions can have consequences on either side of zero. Once you take that into account, many things move from "seeming no-brainer" to "totally undecidable omg what the heck do I do"

(And yes, like all Pascal's Wager discourse in the 2020s, this has an AI safety tie-in. Soooo many actions done in the name of AI safety so far seem to have had very ambiguous consequences (Premise: all the other AI labs are reckless, I'll make one that focuses on safety! 2 years later: we have n+1 reckless AI labs))

So "don't worship" is the worst choice. Other two are mathematically equal.

My favourite interpretation of an ‘antigod’ is a god that has set up religion as a test to determine which of its creations will not live life more or less like an automaton, despite being instructed to do so.

What Pascal didn't understand is that the bottom-right quad is actually positive 69.

Do these charts imply that belief in God’s existence require worship? Or maybe worship is a belief function implementation…🤔

Also in a world that God does exist. But you only worshipped him because of Pascal. That God probably thinks you’re an idiot and you get -30000 anyway 😂 If there is a God, it’s doubtful he cares how much you believe in him. Especially as he hasn’t made it obvious that he does. He probably does care if you’re a good person. And that would be true regardless if you believe in him or not.

Hi. The risky choice, according to Pascal, is to live as if God does not exist. Maybe this will help you in your decision)

When you consider that the number of potential deities is infinite and that what is considered “worship” or “damnable offenses” could also be an infinite set it really blows up the square.
