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"

Oh actually it's -2000000002, and really it should be -2000000003 (as in the right-top and bottom-left options, you lose 3b points from going to hell *and* 1 point for spending the effort of worshipping the wrong god)
