So as a concluding observation - I posted the same question on the Catholic Church Forum asking for their insight. Many classic responses came back. After 22 answers I was blocked the first day. The second day I commented on that and went on to reply to responses. Guess what happened---- my account was blocked for 1000 years - yes 1000 years. Condemed to internet absense. I look forward to beating the typical life expectancy and get back on the site .

prob this with more character choices

Much too deep for most Christians.

When you die....

The point is that's it. As far as you're concerned nothing happens. You don't go to heaven, hell, purgatory, limbo, nirvana, Valhalla, Hades, limbo, or fuckin' Pluto. Those places are all made up. You are either cremated, cryogenically frozen, mummified, or decay, but you won't know, care, or exist.

The cells in your body will breakdown into the elements and compounds that comprise them. Eventually they will become part of something else. However you, your consciousness, mind, awareness, whatever it is that makes you you and creates your personality no longer is.

Believers only believe in one religion all the others are false so gets around this question because you are wrong i am right .

None of those hells or heavens or deities exist, so the question is misplaced. You're asking how you'd reconcile various conflicting human fantasies and imaginations.

You do, however, get at the reason why Pascal's Wager is built on a false premise. Pascal's Wager basically says you should believe in god "just in case". If it turns out there's no god, no harm done ... it didn't cost you that much. But if it turns out god is real, then you avoid hell.

The problem of course is that it isn't just a question of the Christian god existing or not, but of an infinitude of gods that might or might not exist, with likely conflicting beliefs and rule sets. You could hedge your bets with the Christian god, only to face an angry Vishnu or Odin when you die. And now you've just made matters worse because you not only didn't believe in the "correct" god but believed in a "false" god.

Of course, any god worth its salt would know that you were "faking it just in case" anyway, so that's not really a strategy even if you happened to land on the "correct" or "true" god.

There is only one true religion...per person.

Nobody knows.

religions, or at least the deist portions thereof, would have to be rooted in some kind of reality for that scenario to come up. (and what makes you think other religions even HAVE a hell?)

This is a question that should be put to theists.
