It's becoming increasingly apparent to me that Pascal's Wager makes more sense in the opposite direction.

Let's say that there's a chance that there is no God, and your actions alone impact how future generations live.

With how Christians are currently behaving, their actions will result in untold misery for decades to come as countries succumb to fascism and the environment collapses.

On the other hand, if they behave in a way that would potentially benefit the lives of future generations, that is a moral good and God would approve of this behavior if he does exist.

Thus, it is more logical to act the same way as liberals and raise up the downtrodden.
