I'm not an Atheist. I'm a Christian.

Firstly, I'd feel surprised. I fully expect death to be the absolute end of me, so meeting my maker would be pretty shocking. Once I calmed myself, I would be very curious. Given the opportunity, I would pose a lot of existential questions to God. Honestly, I think I'd be due a lot more explanation than he would. What could I tell God that he didn't already know? I absolutely would not feel compelled to sycophantically grovel at God's feet with desperate pleas for forgiveness. I really don't think I'd have anything to apologize for. I live my life the best way I know how and have the same frailties as all people. If God really wanted me to believe in him while I was alive, he should've revealed himself.

I am a nurse and I have never seen an atheist on his/her deathbed.
It is so true, there are no atheists in a foxhole!
I do rest assured that the atheist is in the very low minority. I do often wonder what their set of values are though. Is it ok to murder, steal, lie, for there is no punishment?

Sheepish.
How would a Christian feel if when s/he died, and found out the REAL God was Zeus?
Probably the same.

I don't know. I'm not worrying about it though.
How would you feel if you have been praying to the wrong god all this time, followed the wrong rules and after your death a god is really really pissed at you.

It would depend on what god you really meant.
Even if there is a god, there's no particular reason for supposing that he prefers servility over kindness. Regardless of what the Bible says.

I would tell the big guy, point blank: "I never saw enough evidence to believe you existed. But I've lived my life the best I could, and I have no regrets."

I wouldn't really care. If God won't accept me after I've lived a moral and honest life then I don't want to be in heaven.

How'd you feel if you died and found out that zeus was real?

Which one?
Frankly, I'd be a bit annoyed by the utter lack of credible evidence it provided.
