Why take the chance and not believe?
So why take a chance and not believe in Odin? Why not hedge your bets and start following every religion you can find?
If I'm wrong, then there is no after life and I have lost nothing is this life. If you are wrong, then there is eternal punishment to pay for not believing.
Maybe you're wrong and there is an afterlife, just not one governed by your god, and you get the eternal punishment for not believing.
