Atheists, what if upon death, whatever you *believed* was what happened? [Spirituality & Religion]

So Atheists would get consigned to Eternal Oblivion and Christians get to go to Heaven. Pretty simple really. And even if it doesn't work like that, what have you got to lose?

Eh, if it worked like that, I'd still be an atheist. Not for some terrifically principled or closed-minded reason; it's just that I'm so neurotic that I'd probably convince myself that I'd go to Hell anyway as a Christian, lol. But to answer your second question, Pascal's Wager leaves out the other infinite possible states of affairs, the "Prankster God," for example, who only sends Christians to Hell and everyone else to Heaven. Ironically, being an atheist is just as likely to save your ass from eternal flame as it is to condemn you to it.
