The Just-In-Casers

Religious people do not bother me, I do not hate them or insult them because I pity them. What I do not pity, do not tolerate and absolutely despise are the just-in-casers. Those are the people that are not quite sure there is a God, let alone which religion is correct, but they still go through the religious routine just in case it is right. Here is why these people are in a lose-lose situation.

Let's assume for a second that God does exist and in the end we all will be judged on whether we believed and worshiped him. Religious people will be rewarded and atheists will be burned, but what will happen to the just-in-casers? If God does exist (like he is described by major religions) then he is all knowing and all powerful and if he is all knowing and all powerful, don't you think he will know that these people didn't really quite believe in him or his prophets but just playing it safe, especially when I (a lowly human) can find that out from them after a two minute conversation?

Now imagine that God doesn't exist and upon death we all become nothing but ant food, what then? Well Religious people would have wasted a perfectly good life on worship of an imaginary creature and atheists would have enjoyed (loosely) their lives without the burden of worship, but where does that leave the just-in-casers? The just-in-casers, by definition, go through the religious routines like every religious person, which lands them the short end of the stick, AGAIN!

Moral of the story: take a side. If you keep calling life's little bets, they will add up and clean you out so either go all-in or fold.
