Pascal's wager starts with the false assumption that belief in a deity
has no cost.
Pascal's wager starts with a multitude of logical fallacies. So many
that only someone pre-conditioned to believe in the truth of the "god"
wager could take it seriously.
It presumes, among other things:
1) That there is only one potential form of god
2) That god wants to be believed in
3) That god is eager to punish those who don't believe without evidence
4) That god can tell if you believe
et multitudinous cetera.
