And if Muslims are right, you wouldn't want to have been a Christian in life after you die...right?
(Thus illustrating the weakness of Pascal's Wager)
Perhaps the best thing move might be for everyone on both sides to take Thomas Jefferson's advice to heart:
But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. - Notes on Virginia, 1782
While it's certainly fun to debate these issues, to invest a meaningful amount of time and effort trying to convince someone to change their mind regarding the existence (or non-existence) of God(s) strikes me as just silly. We certainly have far more substantive issues to deal with (the impending economic collapse comes to mind).

Ping to post 5.
Would it be better for you if you had been an atheist?
Thomas Jefferson, did have it right. It does me no harm if you wish to worship a rock. I will of course tell you that you are mistaken, that Jesus is the way to God and Heaven, but if you reject that, beyond me feeling badly for you and your soul, it does me no harm.
The problem arises with those mohammedans who not only take offense at the rejection of Islam, but will then take action against you. As well, the atheists ( or perhaps human-worshippers) who desire to drive God out of all things public.
Imagine a grain of sand. that grain of sand represents your life, every second that has ticked by and will tick by before you pass away, every experience, every decision.
Now think of all the sand on Earth, on the beaches, in the deserts and sandboxes, at the bottoms of lakes, oceans and rivers. All those other grains of sand are the rest of eternity. I think where you will spend it is the most important question there is.
