My own reading of Job was not that god's goodness is undeniable, it's that god really needs nothing from us and is entirely indifferent to human beings choosing to damn themselves or not, in contradiction to "your God is a jealous God".
If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand? Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.
This seems to me like the most sane piece of theological reasoning I've found in any religious text whatever - casting God as an entirely amotivational agent ( which is strangely in contradiction to the premise of the story of Job ).

And then God says "j/k, just kidding" and does the whole New Testament thing :-)
The premises of Pascal's wager are normally presented as abstract facts about the universe - there happens to (maybe) be a god, who happens to have set up the afterlife for the suffering of unbelievers.
But, assuming we ever manage to distinguish trade from extortion, this seems a situation of classical extortion. So if god follows a timeless decision theory - and what other kind of decision theory would it follow? - the correct answer would seem to be to reject the whole deal out of hand, even if you assume god exists.
Or, in other words, respond to a god that offers you heaven, but ignore one that threatens you with hell.
