No, but this does, and you seem to be completely ignoring it: we have no way of knowing not only if your chosen god is the correct one, but if any human representation of god is the correct one. What if your god is correct in every respect, only a transcription error in your holy book means a crucial law was skipped over, and so every last one of you true believers is going to hell through no fault of your own? What if there are two gods, and though the one you worship is sending you to heaven, his more powerful opposite is sending you to hell because you didn't worship him too? What if this extant god praises intellectual honesty over blind fealty and would send me to hell for hedging my bets and feigning belief like you're advocating?
I could go on forever, and as a writer of fiction I've cooked up a number of other possibilities just for fun, but I hope you take my point; the possibilities are simply infinite, and thus any attempt at calculating probabilities is meaningless.

Okay, why aren't you already talking about that? Damn, if you've got absolute proof sufficient to eliminate the possibilities of certain gods, that would be something we'd all be interested in. That'd be genuinely impressive, so why are you delaying? If you can actually provide proof like that it'd do wonders for your credibility here.
Cut to the chase, dude.

Excuse me? Speak for yourself. When I die, I'll be leaving behind my family, my fiancee (hopefully my wife by that stage) and a lifetime of my cumulative actions and effects on the world. So do we all. There is value in that, immeasurably so.
