Pascal's wager would say look at all the claims and pick the right one. In reality, only one will not be self contradictory. Then that is the correct one.
You're wrong, because the moment you untether yourself from reality by accepting the unfalsifiable nonsense of any religion, you open yourself up to the possibility that anything might be true; I mean, why not? What makes the shit I can make up any less believable than the shit some bronze age goat herders can make up?
The truth is, we all have the same odds: there's an infinity of possible afterlives, and no matter which you've decided must be true, you have an infinite amount that could prove you wrong.
Oh, and just saying: some concept being internally consistent and not contradictory, doesn't make it true. Let me show you: All dogs are green, I have a dog, therefore that dog is green. Nothing contradictory there, but yet the first premise is wrong.
