wouldnt it be better to be safe than sorry any way?

So...we ought to be good "just in case" the specific God whose "good" you are being is real and as advertised?

I can think of many reasons to act in a way that society thinks of as morally good, but "just in case" God exists doesn't strike me as a very good one.

If that God does exist, do you think that He would be particularly impressed with "I only acted this way because I was afraid you might be real"

This sounds perilously close to "Do what you want, and it's perfectly fine as long as you don't get caught"
