well, in their defense they are forgiven and allowed to sin until they return to donate more money... i mean ask for forgiveness.

    If that God exists, the irony is that he would see right through them.

    The idea isn't to be evil and hateful until the last 5 minutes before death. I would even argue that that plan in itself would be another form of evil. It wouldn't be true penance or regret, but instead, it would just be a way to save themselves at the last minute. Selfishness.

    It could also maybe be seen as an insult to that God, to believe that he as an all-knowing deity would somehow not know their true intentions.

    Yes, I find it fascinating how much religious people want to cheat their own god. There are entire systems of rituals and actions to show everyone how faithful you are. But you are showing it off to other people, not god.

    It would only be ironic if god and heaven were real. Otherwise those duplicitous fucks go to their graves never knowing true retribution. My only hope is that they die with the uncertainty of not knowing, and their last few moments of lucidity are spent in internal existential angst.
