If I ignore the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny or Santa Claus or the Bogey man, will we want to after we die?
Why do you still cling to the prehistoric idea of god? there is no more proof that any so called god exists than there is that any of the other imaginary items I listed above exist.
Since I do not believe in any god, I think it is perfectly safe to ignore this concept without worrying about paying the price after I die.

Here is my problem(and my answer) with this question. First it is a "christian" based question, as if you'll be consciously aware of what is happening to you when you leave your physical body. Conscious awareness is mental state, when our bodies cease to exist physically, so does our ability to be consciously aware. The soul (light, spirit, etc.) within us is released from the confines placed on it as a physical being, thus what we think of as "knowing" what's going on around us ceases to exist. We also lose the "pettiness" of physical existence (who did what to whom, did I do everything I was supposed to do, etc.)
Now, as you can tell I am not a typical "Christian". I do believe there is only one God (Creator), but I do not believe that someone who calls him Allah, Mohamed, Yahweh, Buddah, etc is WRONG. God is God no matter what you call him. I honor the creator in my reverence to the earth that was created, in my treatment of others, in the way I carry myself. I do not go out and "preach" about what a better world this would be if everyone believed in GOD. People have their own way of believing. Each culture dictates a different existence when we leave our physical bodies. If they aren't "Christian" are they wrong? No, they just choose to believe their God has a different plan for them...so whose right? Christ is the Savior of Christians, but even Jesus went out into the wilderness and places no one wants to tell us about to make sure that the people he was chosen to die for were worth saving. There are writings that talk about him meeting Buddha and other "gods". He (Christ) didn't push himself on others. They had their own belief system and he accepted that. So, my answer is...it is always important to choose your path wisely, whether you believe in a god or not. You are only on this plane of existence for a short time. And, man is the one who decided the "barriers" between the religions, not God, not Jesus, not Allah, not Mohamed, not ANYONE ELSE BUT MANKIND!!!!!
As a side note, my mother and I have a discussion about Church and Christianity often or did until I made this statement to her. "What if, at the end of your existence, everything you have believed about Christ and Faith (Christianity) is wrong." She said...of course..."but I know its not"...she then asked me the same question...my response..."Then I am wrong on my own terms and NO ONE elses"!!!!

If you ignore God now he will be unreachable when you die. Because you will be in hell and He will be in heaven.

What is Judgment?

8. (usually initial capital letter) Also called Last Judgment, Final Judgment. the final trial of all people, both the living and dead, at the end of the world.
Also, especially British, judgement.
Origin: 1250–1300; ME jug(g)ement < OF jugement, equiv. to juge- (s. of jugier to judge) + -ment -ment]
(2Pe 2:4) For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
(Jud 1:6 ) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
(2Pe 2:9) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
(2Pe 3:7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
(1Jo 4:17) Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
(Jud 1:15) To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
(Rev 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
(Rev 20:11) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
(Rev 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Oh yes, There will be a judgment by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Not even the angels will be spared. Therefore, in answer to your question if we continue to Ignore God will suffer Judgment and when you die your chance is greatly reduced especially if you have heard of him, The Son of the Living God Jesus and now you have. For a king judges his peoples. If you reject him and his ways then judgment falls upon you. In this life you can make it or break it. It's up to you.

What does it matter if God doesn't help you now, why would he help you later.
