No, I'm not, but I suspect such nuances are lost on you.
Let's see if I can clarify by removing all mentions of gods from the argument.
You are using and argument to claim A exists. I point out that your argument works equally to prove B,C, and D exist, which means you are not any closer to proving A exists. That does not mean I am using the existence of B,C, and D to prove you wrong.
That is just one of the ways in which Pascal's wager fails.
