@Jörmungandr: very interesting!   that's exactly the kind of pragmatic reasoning I was referring to.

But then are they really mutually exclusive? and is it the same cost of risk?



Here is the interesting parts:

• "... firstly, beings are not sent to Naraka as the result of a divine judgment and punishment; secondly, the length of a being's stay in a Naraka is not eternal ... "
  

so based on my pragmatic risk aversion reasoning, the idea still holds. No? ... the belief above entails less cost/risk compared to other ones.

Karma or a god's judgement, the practical result is the same.  And you're ignoring samsara, which is infinite, unless you become enlightened, which will never happen if you keep appealing to the wrong god concept..

Ok, so maybe I can have both good Karma and abide by God's judgement. This seems to be the best combination to reduce as much risk as possible, isn't it?
i'm just trying to minimize the cost of the risks involved here. I am also not aware of a claim that Karma or Samsara has claimed that it/he/she is a deity. is it?
