I didn't reject the symbolism, just the anthropomorphic comparison of God as a "naive intellectual lightweight" if he accepts the Wager.
Really it's a pretty simple and straightforward issue and pragmatic argument. There's no character fault in going with the safe choice in the face of uncertainty.
For example, if the FBI informs me that they've determined the boogeyman is real, can only attack me in the dark, and is likely targeting me and trying to hide in my closet, then I'm likely to think that's a bit silly. But, chances are, I'll probably turn on the light and check the closet before I go to bed. People might think I'm ridiculous, but it's not any significant extra effort for me because I walk within 3 feet of there when brushing my teeth before bed. Maybe it's a grand deception instigated by the power company moguls to get people to turn on their lights more often and generate more revenue, but it's insignificant to me.
Do you know who the boogeyman checks his closet for at night before he goes to bed?
Could you really have missed the point so badly, or did I miss something all these years?
Heaven/Hell are not a naturalistic cause/effect of real life that you can "game" to produce a desirable result.
The way it is approached is that you have to be in a "right relationship with God" to get to heaven, if you are going to accept Christianity. Some people disagree on the detailed specifics of this (aside from the "believe and commit to Jesus" aspect), but the whole idea of heaven is not as something you can game, nor is it some squidgy Wonderland meant to reward human beings for happening to pick the "correct solution."
Heaven is being in proximity to God, and it is reserved for those who are in alignment with his wishes and with "his heart." Even if you don't anthropomorphize God, the gist still is that to reach heaven, you will have to have become the kind of person who is essentially aligned with the "good" of the universe.
You can't "game a system" in order to fulfill that requirement. You can't "not be aligned" with Good/God in terms of who you are as a person, and just by saying some magic words on your deathbed to hedge your bets suddenly find yourself in heaven. (What such mechanism can even be shown to exist, naturalistically? heaven can't even be shown to exist.)
In fact, such a "heaven" would be hell to you, if you were not aligned with it... just like Westboro can't comprehend the signs by protestors saying, "Sorry for your loss" at the death of their founder and relative. Selfish or self-centered people are unable to trust that unselfish people are authentic. Now put someone next to "God / the ultimate Good" for eternity; it would DESTROY them, not be bliss for them.
Do you see where I'm coming from here? Unless your view of heaven is completely disconnected from morality, I'm not sure how you can support the idea that Pascal's Wager can work, it's just magical thinking. If you are just trying to save your own skin, either you don't get to heaven (because you're a selfish fraud) OR you get to heaven and it's hell to you. Neither outcome is "heaven."
And of course, if one DOES anthropomorphize God (which Christianity does, actively -- sorry; even salvation and God's son is literally incarnate according to the tenets, that's the whole point of the "religion" of Christianity, although you could still follow some of its precepts if you think Jesus was a good guy), then you have an additional layer of a conscious eternal omniscient person being able to recognize the duplicity involved in anyone who thinks they can act selfishly all their lives and just get a free pass to heaven at the last minute because they cried the safe word.
