Pascal's Wager flipped

Pascal's Wager is that belief in Christianity, and behavior based on that belief, potentially have eternal, heavenly consequences that far outweigh the corresponding consequences of disbelief in Christianity (if death is just death, then one's beliefs simply wouldn't matter).

However, consider situations which involve certain death if someone acts as if Christianity is true. This has been the case for many individuals. Now, a believer would proceed to make the decision that results in shuffling off this mortal coil, thereby going on to grander things. He or she probably wouldn't need to think twice.

To an unbeliever, the mortal dilemma looks much different. Pascal's Wager looks less promising because the scales hang between eternal life and earthly life, and of the two earthly life is clearly the safer "bet". For him or her, one choice is to take a chance that Christianity is true, so that earthly life is traded for the incomparably richer eternal life. The other choice is to take the chance that Christianity is false, so that eternal life is nothing more than pretty fiction and therefore earthly life is infinitely better than death.

When someone's life is on the line, Christianity's veracity cuts both ways. Christianity being true would imply that Christian behavior is infinitely more rewarding; yet Christianity being false would imply that Christian behavior is infinitely less rewarding (because then it would be cutting precious life short for precisely Nothing).
