"Isn't this where Pascal's wager comes in?  To place a bet on whether God really exists or not, and whether we are willing to gamble with our souls.  Pascal believed that if there is a God, then to deny him would be foolish.  If there isn't a God, and you still lived by righteous principles and worshipped him (for Pascal, that would have meant Jesus), then you really haven't harmed yourself by exercising faith in a Deity that promotes good works, even if that Deity ends up not existing. And LDS also believe that those who worship God to the best they possibly can, will be blessed for it. Now Pascal taught you couldn't fake out a real God, so your worship and efforts had to be sincere.... The way I see it, I believe that Jesus has saved me, therefore I merit at least a kingdom of glory on par with the other Christians that believe in salvation solely by grace.  So if they are right, I'm gonna do okay for myself. And then if LDS theology is true, which I do believe it is, then I get added upon blessings for faithfulness. If it is Buddhist or Hindu, I'll get another chance, so I'm not worried about their theology.  If all are wrong, and make some god angry, then we're all doomed together. And if there isn't a God, then I've left a decent legacy of good works for future generations to remember, while my body moulders in the grave alongside the atheists.... "
