OK this is useful to know. It would be a shame to become a Muslim and then waste your salvation by dabbling with other religions. Quite to what extent does it mean to be associated with other dieties though? Wandering into a church wouldn't do it would it, but I suppose believing in them or making use of their services perhaps? Would you say that if a Muslim partakes in the Catholic Soul Cleansing Service on a regular basis then they'll go to Hell even though they aren't Catholic?

I take it that the good and bad deeds have been collated into a simple list or do you have to read the whole 600 pages? Could you just download the pdf, print it out and stick it in your fridge? So is it that you only get judged by deeds they relate to the list or do you get judged on other things as well? If the former then it looks very useful having everything specifically laid out. It would be like having to adapt your lifestyle to a new diet. It's far easier to avoid milk products than say any food that smacks of western decadence say.

We will be judged for everything, even the tiniest thought we ever had.
Everything.
Does your god record actions and deeds before you convert? Is he recording everyone's life in case regardless of their religion or lack of one? Presumably come the time of judgement your god just skips to the main highlights? It sort of feels like being spied on by the NSA when you're not even American.

Is this the same god that the other monotheists believe in, or is their god a different god but with the same name? Or does their god not exist? If so how do you tell gods apart if they go by the same name? I mean, we can all believe that the same historical character existed for example but argue about what actually happened.

So your god will be taking pity on some if they tried really hard but didn't quite make the grade because the test was really hard? What matters more when being judged, trying or achieving?
