So if some gave you a bad argument for atheism, would you go back to Christianity?

His point his that the form of Pascal's wager makes it clear that Heaven and Hell are an incentive structure, which is apparently evidence against god existing.

It was more evidence against the trustworthiness of those claiming God existed. Particularly suspicious was that it was an incentive structure that looks a lot like the Santa Claus incentive structure purported by the same people, but that I was "allowed" to stop believing in.
