Percy, this one's for you.
Here's the model you presented us with.
===============================
Bet on ‘Christian Only God’
-------------Christian: Heaven
-------------Krishna: Burn
-------------Jehovah: Burn
-------------Allah: Burn
-------------Etc.
Bet on Common Divinity
-------------Christian: Heaven
-------------Krishna: Heaven
-------------Jehovah: Heaven
-------------Allah: Heaven
-------------Etc.
===============================
First, if you're defention of "common divinity" meets the requirements for all those religions, that I will get into heaven no matter what I believe, and that includes a one track mind for Christianity. That is actually factored into Pascal's wager. So if there is indeed a common divinity, it doesn't matter what you believe, but it's worth taking a shot at a religion where that isn't the case.
Also, you're paths for other religions are quite amiss. It's harder to get into heaven as a Jew or Muslim than it is a Christian. They believe there is only one path also, and if you don't follow it, you're screwed. But if they're a common divinity, then it doesn't matter what we believe, so who-rah.
