I'm wondering if people are getting my, not explicitly stated point. Namely that God is more likely to reward those who do right while doubting his existence than those who only do right because thay believe he will punish them if they don't.

I see no reaon for it to be farfetched that if there is a God he is mildly disgusted by the typical worshipper much the same way I am mildly disgusted by the typical fan who hasn't studied my stuff. He could easily be way more anxious to meet Steven Hawking or Watson and Crick (who actually appreciate his work) than txaq007.

I am hoping that is the way it works, too. I certainly would much rather hang with the likes of Hawking et al for eternity than some of the fascist Christians many of us dread. I think Jesus in fact showed this to be the case. He hung with the disenfranchised (not to equate them to atheists) quite often.

In regard to your actual point: I think I agreed with it in saying for both scenarios, “God is omniscient. He knows.”
