Pascal's wager

While there are variations in how Pascal's wager is articulated, it seems to have at its core, the assumption that atheism and Christianity are the only two plausible explanations for reality. While this may have gone unchallenged in Pascal's France, it seems unlikely that such an assertion would be glossed over by many in today's pluralistic society. I would suggest that I Cor. 15:12-19 is very relevant to a pluralistic society when he says that if the gospel message is wrong, then Christians are in hot water. Paul seems to separate this from verse 32 by verse 29. Verse 29 clearly frames verse 32 as the hypothetical of the dead not being raised.

The point I wish to make is that one can not simply say that if Christianity is wrong, then Christians have merely lived their life by a book (and then go extinct without harm). If a non-Christian theistic world view is true, then Christians could potentially stand to be in hotter water than an atheist.
