live a life knowing there is a God, and die to find out there isn't one
- A life of faith that turns out to be unfounded costs nothing at death - you simply cease to exist, the same outcome as any nonbeliever
- Religious faith can provide community, moral structure, and purpose that holds real value even if the underlying belief later proves incorrect
- Option B carries genuine risk of eternal consequences if a God exists and judgment is real; the believer who was wrong faces none of that exposure
