I’m inspired to make something similar for american political beliefs…

liberals – if you don’t believe in us, you’re going to get swallowed by rising sea levels & gas prices
conservatives – if you don’t believe in us, we’ll… bring G.W. back?
haha

Thanks. If we get pressed to take Pascal’s Wager, we might as well shorten the odds.

Yes, Valhalla seems like serious fun. That should have scored better but the Nordic hell seemed so bloody depressing so i downgraded it. But on reflection, any of these rankings could have gone a few places either way.

I was slack by the time I got to Elysium, I admit it. I didn’t put much effort into finding out what benefits it offers. As you say, if it’s good enough for Gladiator, it should be good enough for anyone.

Funny thing. To people living near the polar regions, a world of ice (a more extreme version of what’s familiar to them) sounds like hell. To people living relatively close to the equator, a world of fire (really intense heat) sounds like hell. The fact that the worlds of the afterlife look eerily like the known worlds of the earthly life indicates, to me, at least, that religions are fabricated; people who were unaware of other geographical possibilities could not envision worlds radically from the ones they knew.

Islam has a hell though – for infidels. It’s a whole “really hot fire” thing.

I haven’t settled on the exact details yet. I’m thinking of some sort of sliding scale. For example if you’re into literature, for £5 you’d be the goddess of Jeffery Archer and Dan Brown novels. £100 would make you goddess of Chick-Lit and £1000 Goddess of Cookery Books with a TV tie-in. Worshipping could be handled by a computer which would run a worship script on a monthly, weekly or daily basis.

It’ll all be guaranteed and if you’re not 100% satisfied with your new afterlife as a goddess simply turn up in person and I will refund you twice your fee.
