Do you worry that, because you refused to acknowledge his divinity and to live your life according to his wisdom, he will send you not to Tlillan-Tlapallan (Middle Heaven, Paradise) but instead to the desolate spiritual wasteland of Mictlan, the lowest of the 9 Underworlds?
Do you ever worry about that?

I only wish more Christians would understand the point you're trying to make with this question. Alas, only a few will. The rest never will.
But, hey, if nothing else, I've learned a few new responses to use when Christians spout their drivel about fearing the wrath of THEIR non-existent Bogey-man.
"I never worry about the wrath of a fictional god."
"I don't make it a practice to concern myself with nonexistent beings."
"I don't lose a wink of sleep or a second of my life worrying about someone who does not exist."
And kudos to for Chad_4_Christ for his apt comment: "Essentially the term 'closemindedness' to a christian mean[s] failure to adopt christianity absolutely, while closing ones mind off to all other possibilities than theirs."

Actually, the only Christian who needs to worry about that is Hernando Cortez. Ol' Snakebird has issues with him about his impersonation.
The Spanish may not have known it, but the Conquest was a lot easier because both his Native allies and the Aztecs thought Cortez WAS Quetzlcoatl, come to punish the Aztecs for the whole human sacrifice thing. We talk about the Aztecs being conquered by 600 Spaniards, but it was really 600 Spaniards and about 90,000 Indians. The Aztecs weren't real popular.

No, but I do worry that there are epople in this world that have nothing better to do than research dead religions of false gods in order to creat questions that cost them 5 points to ask, in order that people that are unwinding from work may make 2 points for reading the quetion and posting such replies as this. By the way thanks for the 2 points. Hope you decide to look into the true and Living Way, that is through Christ Jesus alone.

No. I like surprises. I think you are trivializing Quetzalcoatl. He was a powerful symbol to a great many people in an advanced civilization that were sophisticated beyond others that existed during that time.

And what about muslims, hindus, buddhists, ...?
Will they be sent to the lowest of the 9 underworlds as well?
Just wanted to know, since I'm not a christian, whether or not I will be allowed into paradise too.

LOL I'm sorry this is just such a fantastic question..... I love it!
I have often wondered what would happen if another god "got back" at the Christians..... Not because I want them to "pay" for anything, since religion is a choice, but because I wonder what kind of movie it would make..... A Ben Stiller Comedy I think....

No I do not. Since the conquistadors did a good job of destroying the Aztec God and their society. Like Merlin said "The One God has come to drive out the many gods"

Cool question
You could trawl through the Xian questions and supplant 'god' with any one of over thousands of gods they've freely chosen to become atheist about.
I like the fact the answers sound as if they scoff at such a silly suggestion.

I'm an atheist. I lose sleep over trying to pronounce "Quetzalcoatl"
Is it ket-sel-cote-al?
kwet-zal-coe-ot-l?
I always imagined the first part rhymes with "pretzel," but as to the second half I have no clue.
That's a lot of stars, by the way.

I do not happen to know Ketchuponmycoat-l so I guess that I am doomed. Oh, the pain, the pain! Sorry I was just channeling Dr. Smith from Lost in Space. Ha ha, I made a punny, channeling!!!
