I spend my whole life going to church, giving my offerings, getting baptized, not listening to rock music or drinking any beer---you know, all the things the fundies say I should do in order to ensure entry into Heaven. Then, I die, and get up to the judgment and, lo and behold, there sits Zeus, all ticked off because no one's worshiped him for 2000 years or so.
What should I do?

Hello. What I would do is I would try to explain the life I have lived to Zeus and convince him that I'm worthy. If he doesn't listen then tell him that it is not your fault for everyone not worshiping. Explain that people may be upholding his own deep beliefs or laws. Tell him that you have led one of the most credible and safe lives that many would dare not beg. If he doesn't let you in then Zeus is really stuburn.

Say:
Ooops. My mistake. I'm sorry for worshipping the wrong god. I'm sorry for wasting my life following superstitous life rules. I'm sorry for not making a concerted effort to learn about other beliefs or entertaining that no gods existed. Perhaps if I had done that I may have come across the true belief/disbelief. Would it have been better to have no beliefs in any god than to worship the incorrect god? What say you Zeus?

If listening to rock music gets you banned from heaven, then I'm doomed. Where does it say in the Bible that you can't? If you could elaborate more on that, it'd be very much appreciated. You can contact me at I_am_alive_ATM@yahoo.com or astrophysicisthomas@yahoo.com, whichever.
As for your question: LOL. That does have a slightly comical side to the situation. Unless you're paganist, you shouldn't worry about offending pagan gods.

And if you woke up in Valhalla -- standing in front of Odin, then what?

Recheck your map, you're not in Heaven, I assure you.
