(BTW, I'm not an atheist, but I'm in no way religious, either.)
If I get there and $deity says that it's all good because most people on Earth have it all screwed up, there's no problem since I don't have a specific belief about the afterlife.
If I get there and $deity is the mean, spiteful, arrogant, unforgiving SOB that many religious sects describe, then I'll give $deity a metaphysical single-finger salute, kick him/her where it counts, and spend eternity with the satisfaction of knowing that I flipped $deity the bird. Hmmm. Maybe Satan needs a sysadmin...
If there's nothing on the other side, it's a moot point anyway.
There are a few other possibilities, but those are the ones that are most pertinent. |
