Another problem with Pascal's wager is that it implies sort of deceiving god. If you don't believe then you can't make yourself believe. You can say you believe all you want, but is a god supposed to be omnipotent and know if you disbelieve?
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
