Mr. Blonde is on the right track. If you take Mr. Pascal's wager a bit further and throw in the other religions, you've got problems. Let's say you believe any religion other than christianity and christianity turns out to the the correct religion. You're going to hell. I'm not willing to dedicate too much thought into this, but if christianity ends up the statistical winner because of a specific clause (thou shall not have false idols), I don't give a shit.
All that says to me is the dude that came up with that commandment thought outside the box and everyone praised his idea and he got a raise.
