That's not a reformulation, that just Pascal's [note correct spelling] basic wager. And it's just as deeply flawed as it ever was. Let's look at in in different terms.
I present you with two boxes, A and B. Choosing box A will give a long, happy life on Gumdrop Mountain where the unicorn chickens will serenade you with the Zithers of Contentment while the leprechaun chorus sing selections from Edgar Cayce's Song Of The Remarkable. Choosing box B will give you the opportunity (just the opportunity) for a good education, a satisfying career, and a happy home life.
If you choose box A, you're an idiot, because none of those things exist. Same with Christian promises.
