That's right: if you believe in the Christian God and are wrong, the real
God (who may be worshipped by an obscure group numbering a few dozen people,
or by aliens, or by nobody at all) may be angry and may punish you. An
analogous situation arises when creationists demand that the Biblical
version of events be taught alongside evolutionary theory in schools: if we
are to be fair, the creation myths of every religious sect should be taught.
