It's as simple as doing your best in my eyes, and having no regrets


I'd like to think that if there is a higher power, they're omniscient enough to understand that I'm somebody who needs a reasonable level of evidence to believe in something, and omnibenevolent enough to forgive me for who I am in that case. Anything other than that would be a contradiction and mean that they either aren't all-knowing or all-loving. There's a whole lot of people on earth who believe in different things and still lead perfectly altruistic lives, so I think that a god who would (eternally) punish someone (with damnation) for believing the 'wrong' thing, for reasons beyond their control, wouldn't be a god worth looking up to at all.
