As long as you are moral, it is okay not to know.  As long as you are just, it is okay not to believe.
That sounds awesome, and I kinda agree with it, but allow me to present a specific, extreme example of differing morality.

I think that the sanctity of life comes above all else. Taking a life is permissible only to ease pointless suffering at their request or to save other lives.
I know someone who believes the white race comes before all else and if all non-whites can not be expunged from the US, it is completely moral to exterminate them. He'd rather not kill them all, but he believes it would be moral. Put another way, it would be moral under his beliefs.

Morality is way too subjective to even count that alone as the deciding factor if there is a God watching.

I don't believe in anything myself, but if there is a god, it should be Venus <33

@Evaria: Don't be an idiot and refrain frope you are not being serious about that..
How am I being an idiot? Scientology, from what I heard, is crazy stuff, and I don't know that much about it.

I find crazy things to be interesting, and curiosity gets the better of me.

I'm not actually aiming to become a scientologist, I kinda just wanna know what all the fuss is about.

Same here, especially with all the people wearing V For Vendetta masks and waving signs saying things like "Scientology destroys families!" and "Scientology is a dangerous cult!"

God does not care what religion you practice.  Simply do the right thing, and the right thing, and if there is a god, he/she will respond in kind.
If I was a good priest (or elder, shaman etc) then I would point out that god is completely different to a human being and that your idea of the "right thing" may not be the same as his (or hers), ergo they might view your good deeds in a negative light. I would then naturally point out that my particular holy book (bible, koran etc) is the only reliable way of knowing what god considers to be righteous, followed by converting you to my religion and stealing all of your money.

Atheism ftw...

the religion i have found the most interesting is Hinduism. they have created millions of different idols that all add up to the total traits of the one god. the also have a fascinating creation story. for me Hinduism is more like a storybook so full of Greek legend style writings that its impossible to be boring.

I'm currently studying Zoroastrianism along with Old Persian culture
Same here.

I'll throw Manicheanism, Mandaeism, and Yezidi.  Any of the obscure Near Eastern faiths are the most interesting.
