I think in the end it won't be what/who you followed. I think the big guy will ask "what did you do with your to help/harm other people? Did you leave the earth a better place after you had existed in it?"
Not to sound like a %*#+ but wouldn't that also apply for people not believing in him/her? In an earlier post you said that you would rather believe and end up being wrong than not believing and end up being wrong. I can't help but assume you were referring to being judged in the afterlife? If so, then the statement I put in bold somewhat contradicts your previous one... Not that I'm against your religion, the statement didn't just add up to me.
You make an excellent point. Let me say i'm not out to make anyone believe in god. It's your choice. I don't want to cram anythingdown anyones throat. When i said my first quote it was merely personal. Not meant to convince someone that God should be believed in.
Let me do me, I'm a let you do you. I just wonder about people who feel the need to denounce God and his existence. In my opinion the same people who arelooking down on people for believing in a magical being are just as bad as those who want to force feed said being down your throat.
