We don't want to sink to their level, do we? A) Pascal never intended the wager as a serious theological argument. It was found among his notes for a book on outcomes and probability, and was published posthumously. And 2) Epicurus probably never offered "his" famous paradox, since he didn't live in a culture that believed in a single omnipotent, omnibenevolent deity. What one deity might be willing to prevent, another might maliciously want to encourage.
