Please, do share your paranormal research with us. Obviously, you'll want to choose the most verifiable (so we may reproduce the paranormal phenomena) or the most documented (to reassure us that you're not just making this stuff up) cases as examples...

Because it will have no effect, either way, on the outcome. If there is no God then it obviously won't help any. Even if there were a God, being all-powerful and omniscient, He wouldn't have been fooled by such reasoning.
Pascal's Wager can't help you in either case, so why would you even consider it?
