I realize you very much try to avoid a TYPE I error but seem to care little about how serious your TYPE II errors might turn out to be.

A 5% risk of being wrong about choosing the color shirt to wear at an office party is one thing.

A 5% risk of spending eternity in an uncomfortable place is a different sort of thing.

I think it was C.S. Lewis who said we should try to live as Christians, and, if there is no God and no afterlife, we've lost nothing by our actions. However, if there is a God, and we haven't been following His Rules, it will be quite unpleasant for us later.
