This has multiple inconsistencies. First of all speaking of "Christian God" is ignoring the Abrahamic Faith existing well before Christianity and the prophethood and message of Mohammed peace and blessing be upon him, clarifying a lot of the positions that contemporary Christianity got wrong from the Islamic perspective. Now whether you believe in it is a different question, but evidently Christianity is only a part of the Abrahamic Faith.
Second of all, if there is only one God, which i am convinced of, there cannot be praying to "the wrong one". In that sense also the comic is falling short of basic logic. It does not matter in which language you say "God" if you believe in his oneness.
Third of all, if you accept God as the creator of everything, his promise of the afterlife and his expectation of worship, then you have to accept the existence of Gods messengers and prophets. Now there is the risk of following a false prophet, but by learning about the messengers and prophets you have the ability to discern false prophets and false teachings.
Finally your argument is based on assuming God to not have given you the means to know, thereby you would not be judged if you choose to stay ignorant, however the opposite is true by the scriptures. Seeking knowledge of God and his message and being sincere in your efforts will be rewarded and your mistakes will be forgiven if you sincerely repent for them. You know about God and evidently have some concept of his promises and warnings. Thereby you cannot claim a lack of knowledge as you have the duty to learn and build a correct understanding.
If you say you don't believe because that is what is in your heart that is one thing, but claiming to not believe based on that being your "best bet" will not work.
Why?
Which one? And why would I believe some random thing about that god
If there is only one God, the question of "which one" is obsolete. The question becomes, what your understanding of God is.
For an overview of arguments see: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monotheism
Monotheism is the most consistent with the attributes of the divine.
Do you believe in Atoms and the latest theory of how they are composed? Unless you have conducted all the experiments leading to that theory yourself, which i doubt, because you don't have particle accelerators readily available, you will have a basis of "scriptures" and "scholars" whose judgement you trust and follow.
Circular logic. That requires that you believe in some specific definition of “the divine”. And of course that divinity exists in the first place.
Discoveries in physics have directly led to applications that you can see with your own eyes. Hiroshima didn't happen because someone just happened to enrich enough uranium to create supercriticality.
