As someone who has used Pascal's Wager in conversation with friends before (not to witness, but merely to stimulate discussion), I would like to say that I've never heard anyone use this argument as anything but a last resort justification for faith. My faith doesn't come from a want of heaven or a fear of hell, it comes because I believe that Christ is worthy of praise and service whether there is an afterlife or not.
Granted, I do believe that Pascal's Wager is in some ways true and that the Christians do have an advantage in that regard. It should never be a serious argument, though because it does draw people to God for all the wrong reasons.
