Your thoughts about Pascal's wager's wager?

If you don't acknowledge the validity of Pascal's wager and it's indeed invalid, we are even.

But if you don't acknowledge its validity and it is valid, I win.

Therefore, why would it hurt to accept Pascal's wager as valid?

Answer and drink for me.

Update:

Unpope, it is only fitting - and intentional - that this one be flawed as well. Thank you for noticing.

    Meta-wager!

    Except this one is also flawed, you set an uneven condition in "If you don't acknowledge the validity of Pascal's wager and it's indeed invalid, we are even."

    We would not be even, I would win.

    Because, believing just because of fear of Hell is not really believing at all, because to get into heaven you'd need to really believe in Jesus and God.

    Pascal's wager is folly, as most faith-based arguments. As an Atheist I realize that faith is all they really have, they cannot prove God exists in any way shape or form.

    Because if this question made a bit of sense, then I win. But if it doesn't then I still win. And I win even if I lose. So why not worship Zeus?

    Because I know the truth and THOR is the ruler of the universe!

    I win!

    True. And if you don't choose, and are wrong, you just lost everything.
