Total obliteration seems more merciful than the eternal torment promised by Christianity.
You were expecting the storm god of the Sinai desert, maybe?
A Short Stay In Hell
Short novella based on this exact premise. If you have never encountered it before, I urge you to give it a read. It's excellent. Also very disturbing.
Honestly, given the available evidence, this is just as likely an outcome as any other.
this is the source of a lot of my existential dread. I can't logically refute it, at most I can acknowledge it's pointless for me to worry about, but I can't stop myself from worrying about maltheism.
Any supposed supreme deity who hinges the eternal fate of their own supposed creations on a wild ass guess isn't one that is worthy of worship, adoration, or even basic respect. If a being with the sum total knowledge and foresight of literally everything can't devise a better system that any random ass person off the street, I wouldn't worry about it.
They either don't exist at all, or they do and everyone is fucked because we exist in the playground of omnipotent super beings that are somehow also absurdly stupid. One of those outcomes is more likely than the other. I think you know which one it is.
Well, he gave his best shot. Next time he might try a more rigorous vetting system rather than just picking the most popular one in his home town.

That's the first place my mind went, as well.
What's hilarious is that in another episode, Satan asked God to accept Saddam Hussein into heaven so he could know true eternal torment living with the Mormons.
Pretty much the reverse of this:
Probably they would've killed him for being heretic and meet god again in a short time.
again? oy! this time I'll give you an invincibility cooldown.
What's this from?
Oglaf (potentially NSFW).
Zororo hasn't stopped the souls coming in to obliterate.
Must be the highlight of it's day.Nah, he just thinks the sins of the father pass to the son and he's a bit salty about why the tribe went extinct.
All Pharisees will face such.
The Christian god eats souls. The more chaste you are during life, the more energy he obtains. That's why he started the religion.
The light you see after death is like an angler fish, guiding you to your consumption.
Al hail the great ZORORO
May they blast me into sweet oblivion of nothingness as soon as I die, existence isn't for me.
Doug Forcett got it 92% correct.
So who do non-believers like me meet?
In this scenario, some random ass folk deity. In all likelihood, nothing. Because there would no longer be a "you" and there was never "a thing to meet."
Bad people instead suffer eternal tinnitus I guess.
