What if I am wrong about what? How could any religion be true when there are so many of them? For it to be true it would mean that only YOU had the right religion. Does that seem logical or even likely? I studied for the ministry and today my belief in gods is about the same as the Easter Bunny. For those who want to scare me with hellfire, please understand that when I die I am going to be cremated. Gods are imaginary.

It doesn't matter whether we are right or wrong.

Sure, & one can get all "Pascal's Wager" here, but I have to go with my reason (tho most religions frown on that!). Show me any proof for a creator god, & I may then "believe", but as to worship it will take even more than that. I'm a proud Yank, bending the knee does not come naturally! Up to this point I have seen no credible evidence for a god, specious locic tricks used by apologists notwithstanding. Wishful thinking is no way to go through life, in my opinion.

OK, I'm wrong. A jealous tribal god did create 2 people and put them in a garden, and there was a talking snake.
If we tickle, tease, and please this god enough he willl let us live with him in the sky. We can sing his praises forever and forever. That would get old fast.
Now if you mean some other god besides the ones in sacred writings it would not matter anyway. That's because this last god gave us no instructions of any kind.

I have been and will continue to be wrong about a great many things

Has it ever crossed your mind that if there is an afterlife it's not the one you've been indoctrinated?

If we're wrong, then god has some splainin' to do as to why he hasn't made himself known to the rank and file. Moreover, he better 'splain why he allows so much suffering in his name.

I want my Tombstone to read.." if there is a god I'll be back"

Nope.

My journey from believer to atheist took about ten years. Once I reached the point where I no longer believed in the existence of any kind of god (especially a revealed one that involves itself in human affairs) I never asked myself that question. If there should be some sort of creator being, force, energy, with self-awareness, I have no concerns that it is anything like the petty, vengeful, all-too-human god of the Bible.

Not for a split second.

This is usually followed by some version of Pascal's wager.

For a few months.

Probably only about as much as most believers ask themselves the same thing, acknowledging the wide range of belief systems out there. That is, not at all. It's just not something I view as worth worrying about. The fear of condemnation after death is a weak basis on which to force oneself into a belief system, and even then, again, I'd point to the wide variety out there, so I'd still have to have those concerns anyway. If there were a god, and they would condemn someone for living a good life while simply not believing, that wouldn't be a god I wanted to follow anyway. So, I guess it all works out.

Yes it has. The thing is me being wrong doesn't make any particular religion right. If there is a god then he is a terrible deity and deserves scorn and not praise.

Early on, sure. But I would never worship such a cruel and shitty egomaniacal god. I mean, Satan sounds way cooler anyhow. If I am wrong, so be it, I will be in good company of smarter people

Briefly, early on.

But no more.

Not much anymore but i have that .01 % cuz anything and everything could be all FUCKED UP!!

No. I'm perhaps a little cynical and think just wait until those believers die, they'll see!

In high school, I told a Brother that I didn't feel comfortable giving the confession of faith, because I didn't believe it and that if there is a God that God wouldn't want me to lie. I also always found inconsistency in the idea of an all knowing loving creator that would build you just to be damned to hell.

If course. That is the process of belief, doubt, overwhelming doubt missed with lingering fear, to full freedom.

Not sincerely. “Everybody Is Wrong About God” establishes a compelling argument that I haven’t been able to dismiss, but Jesus and other gods I’ve not been convinced of.

As a youth, you’re never sure who or what to trust, and will often doubt yourself, so that shouldn’t count... As an adult, with observation and experience -- I’ve absolutely no doubt whatsoever that anything the least bit resembling any god concept I’ve ever come across is the least bit true. And after settling with my cosmic insignificance, I work to make the most of it!

Sure, and then I came to my senses?

Considering the numerous religions and add on the numerous denominations of religions all of which play by the rule that they are right and all others are wrong the odds that any one religion is right are astronomical. The odds that a person actually picks the one religion that may be true is also astronomical. So it's less "what if I'm wrong?" and more "why does everyone assume their right?".
