Just in case there is a God who punishes anyone who believes in a supernatural diety to suffer for eternity?
Here's a new wager that I think is equally valid/absurd as Pascal's.

I believe in all gods, just in case there's one who will kill me for not believing in him/her/it.

I won't lose much if I believed in God and there was no God. But of course there is God, so if I didn't believe, I would be in hell forever ....

I becoming an atheist for THAT reason. It's all bull ****! I'm Muslim and every single Muslim parent I know teaches their kid to fear god. They start to brain wash them from an early stage in their lives. It's so hypocritical. They've commited adultry, yet teach the poor kid paryers in arabic. They don't teach them the goddam value of a human....

Brilliant! :)
And I thought my twist on Pascal's Wager (replacing Christianity with Asatru) was good...
To answer the question, it makes complete sense to me...

Actually, according to my personal observations of reality, your idea makes far, far more sense than the other Pascal. That's why I do in fact practice your idea.

"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." - Thomas Jefferson

Unfortunately, when you compare your wager to Pascal's, yours loses completely.
You posit that if there is a god who punishes, it's better to disbelieve it; that's akin to disbelieving the law because you may be arrested for committing a crime. Your wager is nonsensical.

Too bad this question doesn't make much sense.

It could be even worse if they believe in the wrong god

God punishes people who mock His Bible, His Word, or His person.

I bet this was funnier in your mind.
