If by some anti-miraculous fluke, your religion happens to be wrong, what would you expect god to do about you?

Asked by ninjacolin (14246points) February 15th, 2010

Different religious people believe in different versions of reality:

Some believe it is real that there is a God who will punish those who have not found his way. Some believe it is real that the only ones who will be saved are those in their religious family. Still others believe it is real that everyone who is “trying” to do good in general will be saved. Some believe everyone will be saved. Some believe there is no “afterlife” to worry about at all.

The question is this: Hypothetically, assuming that you are entirely wrong in your current religious convictions and assuming that God were deciding your fate this moment (perhaps you died, for example) what would you expect god to do about you and your false beliefs?

Do you think you would deserve punishment?
Do you think you would deserve a free pass? (e for effort!)

ps. I hope to hear at least some comments from a personal perspective. I really am asking about you and your beliefs specifically. (as well as in general) :)
