Which god are you going to believe in?
The only one there can be.
There are plenty of gods out there...
Nope. Can be only one.
Too, and connected, isn't it interesting that the god you will typically believe in is the one your community believes in?

How can one conclude if the Wager is "authentic and intellectually honest" if one does not examine if the Wager is fallacious?

real God would not give mind to whether or not a handful of mollusks clinging to a measly rock acknowledged its existence.

[Philosophy] stands behind everything. It is the loom behind the fabric, the place you arrive when you trace the threads back to their source. It is where you question everything you think you know and seek every truth to be had. - Archer Opterix [msg=-11,-316,210]
