after all, what if Thor is the mighty one and we didn't believe in Him?

The rituals would be real confusing.

Eh, why's that doc? If a thousand companies were offering cures for a headache, would you take all the (potentially harmfull) medicine, or research and find out which really works?
If you do that with religion, and end up believing in anything but Christianity, it is because you took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
That's All Folks

Agreed, with two caveats:
1) Performing the required obsequies would probably occupy ALL of our time; and
2) some of the rituals might be objectionable to law enforcement agencies.
I'm just sayin'.

To be on the safe side?
I believe in God because He is God. Not to be on the safe side. If I believed in all gods, it would be kind of counter productive. Believe in one God because you believe Him to be God, not just to be on the safe side. Faith is not a, just in case, thing it is true belief in the one true God.

No, we should make it a contest.
Find out who is most likely to have near-death experiences where they meet "God" and... somehow... force them to believe different religions. Obviously make one atheist and one Christian, and one Muslim, and one Jew, and one Buddhist, and one of every other religion, even the Flying Spaghetti Monster (he could be right too). When they have near-death experiences, ask them who they see. If they all see different things, this will prove nothing.

Ah but most religions believe in belief in one deity to the exclusion of all others...so no because you will be incurring their wrath anyway

gods of wood, or hay, or stubble, why not serve the Living God, Jesus Christ. He is alive today and is in Heaven waiting for those who believe in him. Why worship something man made, it makes no sense. Jesus is real. His Holy Spirit is real, When ever you are driving down the road and you see a Cross does it remind you of Jesus?What about when you see three together? In the book of Hebrews chapter 10:16 it says that Jesus wrote his laws in our hearts and minds, When you see a Jesus license plate, or bumper sticker does that bother you, of course it does, its in us to believe, we may reject Jesus but our instincts tell us otherwise. The problem with rejecting Jesus is the consequences, a lake of fire with the old devil himself, for all eternity, I had rather live in paradise with Jesus for eternity, all it takes is admitting that you need a Saviour, confessing your sins to Him, and asking Him to come into your heart and save you. Do you feel a tug on your heart right now, is it beating faster, pray this sinners prayer and Christ will make you a new creature, he will wash all your sins away and make you new, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

There is only one living God, His throng is in heaven. Why would you believe in, man made gods, or things created by the true God.

I think there's too many of them. I suggest you narrow it down to those that will be pissed at you if you don't believe and, if you can handle a few more, those that claim they can do something for you.
