Furthermore, if one finds Pascal's wager to be convincing, one must by the same logic also believe in Zeus, Thor, Ra, Huitzilopochtli, the Great Green Arkleseizure, etc. After all, if one wrongly fails to believe in any of these, the consequences may be dire, whereas if one wrongly believes in any of them, there is no consequence.

I don't "have" to believe anything. You seem to be forgetting the concept of free will. The bible says "Thou shalt have no other god before me." God of course is the one speaking.If I believe in God in this since not only do I not believe in Zeus, Thor, Ra, Huitzilpochtli, and the Great Green Arkleseizure, I refuse them as a matter of my faith.

Equating the living God, with Ra or Thor is silly.
There are good factual reasons for believing in Christ, who is God.
