Hearing Pascal's Wager actually had a large impact on my becoming a Christian... and Islam, imho, is a knockoff of Christianity... the other religions either fall into Christian knockoffs or Hindu knockoffs... and Hinduism supports dualism, which is logically bankrupt...

Actually should God exist and indeed If I were a "god" you would burn in hell with the rest of the atheists. Ironically you are not believing in God like the rest of the "believers" because you think you are doing good. You are believing in God because you are hoping that should the bible be right you will get a reward.

Islam is based more off the Torah than the bible. Infact a lot of the bible is based of "islamic scripts" that translated the bible into arabic. Among the oldest sects of christianity are the Coptics who read "arabic bibles".

Hinduism does not support dualism. It points out that evil and good are labels we apply to things. That one man's righteous behaviour is another man's evil. To feed a man's poor family he must steal. That is not an evil, however should a rich man steal from his employees for greed? Then it is evil. This is actually a very interesting morality concept to the black and white morality of christianity since it seems to accept the situation of people alongside their actions. Logically speaking it is a superior system since it does not condemn people to "hell" just because they do something to survive. And is indeed more "human".

“Hearing Pascal's Wager actually had a large impact on my becoming a Christian...”

I really doubt that. PW only works if you only accept one religion as being an option. You’d have to pretty much be a Chrstain to think that Christainity was the solution to the Wager.
If you know of three religions, you can see that Pascal didn’t really address how to pick the religion with the right virtues to practice.
