I pretty much agree with this. I'm also afraid that if i believe there is no God, that eventually it will come back to bite me when i'm knocking on the pearly gates trying to get in.
I used to hold a loose belief in god just out of fear of hell. I figured I would hedge my bet. I then realized it was ridiculous to believe out of fear, and that there were so many gods to choose from throughout history I likely wouldn't choose the right one anyway.
You are an atheist when it comes to every god except your own. I just go one god further.
Do you believe in god? Where are you on the 7 point belief scale?

But what if you choose the wrong god? There are thousands you can choose from. That is the problem with Pascal's Wager.
