Same here. For Pascal's Wager to have any effect, they first need to prove that Hell is a real place, our consciousness survives death, that our consciousness would somehow be able to feel pain after being separated from our body, and that this god will actually send us to hell for not believing in him when he never offers proof of his existence.
The fact that God could make me believe if he wanted to but doesn't is either evidence that he wants to send me to Hell, in which case he is a monster not worthy of worship, or else he doesn't exist.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
