What would you do if you found that Valhalla really existed? What would you tell Odin? What would you tell Allah when he won't allow you to have those 72 virgins? What would you do if Zeus exists after all and will punish you in Tartarus? Your question has the same meaning as these. It paraphrases Pascal's Wager. He probably meant it as a joke, but many people take it seriously. It is impossible that such childish fantasies could be real, for the Bible contradicts itself many times and is quite ignorant of science and the real world. Dad once told me that I couldn't go to Heaven if I did something or other. I retorted, "I wouldn't want to go to such a boring, depressing place even if it did exist. You see only two Hells." I trust that answers your question. I'd tell YVHV Moses' deity what I told Dad.

If I thought it would happen, hypothetically, do you think I would be an atheist?
What is with all the fear of death and hell with Christians? It that really the ONLY reason you all can come up with to be a Christian?

Actually, I'll start with one question --
Was Yshua bar-Ysef, the Nazarene, HaMosiach?
If the answer is Yes, then I will flip the Trinity off, each one of them, and without another word march into Hell with my morals intact. The deity of Christians and Muslims is a liar, a fraud, and a monster.
If the answer is No, then I'll nod, give G-D the biggest hug imaginable, and ask The LORD to walk with me to the place of purification ... I'll have so many many questions to ask of The LORD on the way to make sure my purification is as quick as it can be.
Now... have you pondered if you die and get to the afterlife, and Anubis picks up the feather of Ma'at to place on the scales with your heart? Do you know how to recite the 42 Denials?

I will say; "Hi there, oh you Are real??? Hmmm how come you didn't speak to me when I pleaded with you, or give me a sign when I begged you to, so that I could believe in you? By the way, why did you drop manna on the jews and let children starve to death in many other parts of the world? Did you do all those genocidal things in the bible? If so, you're a douchebagassmonkey who I'd never worship anyways. One ticket to the party in hell please!!! B-bye!"

In the highly unlikely event that there is a supernatural afterlife, and I come face to face with the creator... I would have a lot of questions for him.
Your question seems to imply that this magnificent, omnipotent being would somehow be displeased with me because I didn't spend my life honoring him.
Frankly- if I did believe in a deity, I would think more of him than to believe that he is so self-centered and egotistical as to want 6 billion people to pray to him.
If he is the god that you believe in... then why wouldn't he be as forgiving in the afterlife, as you think he is during life?

I had a Buddhist tell me it should not matter if there is a god or not. We should live our lives well without fear. What is the point of doing the right things if its only because we are afraid? I took that to heart and have tried to live my life that way. IF there was a god and its not enough for him, so be it.

Any God worth having won't care one way or the other. They would be secure enough in themselves to have compassion. If the Gods aren't like that I'd rather burn in hell then spend eternity with them.

I would ask her why she was so damn secretive. Why didn't she show any evidence of her existence? I would also ask her why she would bother inventing logic and then completely ignore it at all turns. Finally, I would ask her why she was satisfied to have as her constituents such a generally uneducated, gullible and superstitious bunch.
Unfortunately I am not able to reverse the question on you. I can't say, "How stupid are you going to feel if, when you die, you realize all of your superstitious and silly rituals were a waste of time?" I can't ask you that because when you die you'll be dead. End of story.

Hypothetically speaking, after death, if you find that the God you SHOULD have been worshipping was Vishnu, what will YOUR answer be?

If this god is truly omnipotent and all-knowing, then he would have known long before I was born that I would eventually disbelieve. Consequently, no answer would be required.
