This question goes out to all the Christians out there who constantly post variants of Pascal’s wager asking what do you have to loose if you worship God. Keep in mind this is purely a hypothetical question.
Say after you die you realize there is an afterlife, but hold on, it’s not the one you had expected. You find yourself in the presence of the Egyptian God of the Dead, Anubis. He’s about to weigh your heart against the weight of a feather. This will decide your fate in the afterworld. What say you? What would be your reaction if you found out that you had picked the wrong God? Is your heart as light as a feather?
You see There are more options than just "god exists" or "there is no god" with the wager. I bet Anubis or Hades wouldn't be amused at all by Pascal's Wagerers. To say nothing of obscure blood-thirsty Aztec death-gods. Should one worship all of those, just in case they are right as well? And what, pray tell, about all the possible Gods that have never been worshiped?
