An important counterargument is, "If made-up things are that important, then the making-things-up process is even more important." Christianity's "made-up things" socially require you not to understand, improve, or re-extrapolate the making-things-up process.

Similarly, if Pascal's Wager is important, then the process that lets you find and make Pascal's Wagers is even more important. Christianity's Pascal's Wager socially requires you to not search for, see, or make other Pascal's Wagers more important than Christianity's Pascal's Wager.
