But just going through the standards and guidelines of todays religions and choosing what you aren't and are not going to follow from each and combining it into your own faith is just dumb.
Conclusion, a person deciding to believe in a god because it is the choice that offers the most benefits and least dangers. I hope the god in question does not mind that you believe in it merely in order to gain entrance to heaven and/or to avoid punishment in hell.
