You don't seem to understand what's being explained to you here Zaki. While employing caution during decision making is generally a very good idea, it is impossible to do so with this particular idea. By employing caution (invoking faith, or following the rules, if you will) towards any given god, you would invariably draw the ire of another. It is impossible to hedge this bet, and it needs to be said that any god at all would know exactly what you were doing in the first place. You cannot spread the risk, due to the often contradictory teachings of each religion that you would have to entertain. This is why Pascals wager, though often offered as a defense of the christian faith, actually gets more talking time with the atheist crowd. It presents precisely the sort of dilemna that it is proposed to avoid. Stick around, you'll know this stuff like the back of your hand.
