      Well, God doesn't intervene actively for them. He gives you the rules and then scores you at the end.

      Yes, you will ultimately be rewarded or punished for whether you have thought the right things & followed the right rules.

      Same sport. Or any situation with rules. But as long as you can pick which set of rules to follow, I don't see it as a conflict.

      I don't think they think that tho. They really think the god is real & he's the only one & he's setting rules which apply to all.

      But I suspect you are right & they do use this thinking. It just doesn't work if they are actually right.

      If they actually got to heaven with same psychology as now & saw ppl being tortured for thoughtcrime, they'd see the problem.

      There's huge dissonance, for sure. Also I think they choose subconsciously, and are emotionally drawn.

      So they think "hey, lucky that the religion I want to follow is the true one!".
