If I am correct, it means I get to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus my Savior and Redeemer.
Wagering this short life seems like a pretty safe bet when the stakes are eternity.
You left out the part that if your baseless assumption is false, and there is nothing to indicate it is not, then you will waste the only life you have and miss opportunities all under the illusion that you have some special access to a trans-dimensional plane where you live for ever and have your every need catered for. Have you ever actually said that aloud? Because it sounds like the very definition of wishful thinking.
Regardless of how short it is, your life will be wasted under the guise of a fantasy.
You've also missed the third option, what if we're both wrong? Man, Zeus is going to be pissed....
