Are you in a round about way making the argument that its better to live life as if God exists, because if it exists then you gain everything whereas if it doesn't then you lose nothing?
Because if thats the case, then an omnipotent being would surely see through such a farce. Let alone the point that what if it isn't "your God" that actually exists? What if its Thor or something and not the theistic faith you subscribe to? I think in many ways believing in any faith is a risk, even if we assume that the divine exists (which is a big "if"), we don't know for sure which one is the real faith or if infact God or whatever the divine may be has even truly been revealed to humans at all. My point being is that subcribing to any one thing as opposed to others will always be a risk. And it doesn't matter in many religions if you beleive in the divine or not, because if the divine you believe in is the wrong one you'll be having some hellfire (or the equivalent) along with the Atheists, Agnostics, Diests and every other Theist that got it wrong aswell.
Or did I just take your post in a completely different direction then intended?
