Do you ever wonder if the christians are right?

To this extent, I'm exactly on a par with Christians: I never wonder if they're right, and they never wonder if they're wrong.

I forgot about the wiccans, has the last wiccan died yet? (I jest, I jest).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Yes, I have wondered whether Christianity is right. It is the effort to satisfy that curiosity which produced the robust and overwhelmingly convincing evidence that not only is Christianity wrong, its wrongness was absolutely by no means innocently mistakes born of mere gullibility and overeagerness either.
During the time I was deconverting I had the whole doubt and, "What if I'm wrong" thing going on for a while. Mostly it was coping mechanism and instilled fear through the fire and brimstone type of dealings with people and fear of hell and damnation that you're instilled with when you're indoctrinated. Above and beyond that, I currently no more wonder if I am wrong about Christianity, than I do Muslims and Islam, Scientology, Mormons or Zeus.
I don't wonder if they're right I feel sorry for them because when they die all they're life they thought they would meet God but they don't ..

I don't feel any sympathy for them whatsoever. When they die they would become too dead to ever experience regret for a life squandered pursuing a sickening and unattainable fantasy, yet what they did to waste their own lives will continue afflict the lives of those still living. What is there to feel sorry for? They are never called to atone for their folly, much less make restitution for those injured by their folly.

Christianity has to be the most patently ridiculous of all religions. It collapses under the most superficial examination. I never was that far into it anyway, I never got suckered into the idea of heaven and hell. Like it or not, you and your brain is all you've got. Enjoy it while you are here. We are all in the same boat so why worry?
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
I never wonder if christianity is right, because I never wonder if X religion of any stripe is right. I do, however, wonder constantly whether I might be wrong, about any position I care to take. It's a much more effective mental exercise, because it's pretty much the only way to become right again.

No. I never wonder if the christers are right, nor do I let it concern me. Their gawd is so full of logical inconsistencies there is no way they could be.
If there is some kind of deity, I don't think anyone who has led a good life, no matter what their beliefs/unbeliefs are. Of course, the odds against just keep growing and growing, but I guess I have to give at least a hypothetical chance that there may be some form of "set it in motion then forgot about it" type of deity.
