Pascal's Wager doesn't really work for ANYTHING. If I stand on the sidewalk in front of a very nice house and tell passerby that if they wash the car in the driveway, the lady who lives there will give them a million dollars when she gets home; but if they don't she'll hire a hit man to take out everyone you love; who is going to wash that car? And these rewards and punishments are known to be physically possible, no miracles required.
The key thing that Pascal's Wager misses is credibility. You can't take it seriously unless you already believe the things it is trying to convince you of are real.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
