First, let me demolish your analogy.

Our day is one vast game of musical chairs.
A few salient points about the game:
- All chairs/gods are equal. As long as you get one, you win the round.
- Every round, somebody loses, gets kicked out of the game/heaven.
- In the end, there is only one winner. Everybody else is doomed/damned.
And last but not least:
- There are no "decisions" being made. It's a life-or-death struggle for resources.
If we compare musical gods to musical chairs, choosing the "right" god would seem to be dependent on reaction time. The sole occupant of a chair/heaven would be a teenage video-gamer and hell would be standing-room only.
So, I'm not thrilled to pieces about the musical chairs analogy.
And it doesn't even attempt answer my question: Why wouldn't I choose a god who
does something instead of one who doesn't?
