Wow. That first premise implies that all atheists are disease-ridden crime-loving alcoholics, while no believers are. That's easily falsifiable.

Second, you also imply that your god is too stupid to tell the difference between someone who is following what he says to do because that person honestly believes that's the right thing to do, and a person who is doing it "just in case" it's the right thing to do.
Maybe when Pascal's wager comes up, it'll be you who fails because god will condemn you for thinking he's an idiot.

Not really, God may reward and respect the cautious and prudent over the self assured ,overly confident fool.
