The actual threat doesn't bother me, because I'm destined for Heaven under their rules anyway.
Basically, my fate according to those who wish to condemn me for my unbelief is to be punished post mortem. "God" must know that for this fate to be a punishment, it would have to be the exact opposite of what would reward me. To send me to Hell would put me in the company of all those before me who have defied this god and all its works, such company ranging from Samuel Clemens, Robert Ingersoll and Bertrand Russell to Carl Sagan and Christopher Hitchens. So Hell would be denied me and Heaven, the worst punishment I could possibly imagine with all its insipid denizens and eternal arse-licking, my final destination.
If nothing else it leaves the street fundies spluttering in my wake while I make good my escape.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
