I hate to bring it up as it's a boring old argument but there have been plenty of terrible acts committed by people who believe in God. Also there's many great saints who lived very sinful lives and repented. The thought of God being a vengeful one is awful to me. But whatever gets you through the day.

It just sucks...i hate that people believe and feel that way. I appreciate my life more knowing that there is a better one to come.
What you're saying about rewards...It begs the argument that if "good people" go thru leading a "good" life believing in nothing....and choose to believe in no God...but find themselves in that place when they die...do they deserve to be there? Do their choices warrant that?
I suppose in the end, I could never make that presumption. Only you and God knows your own heart. And I suppose the God of this universe can do as he pleases.
