If there is no God, then all us religious nuts are gullible, misguided fools who use the notion of a higher power as a crutch for not dealing with reality.

If there is a God, then all the atheists are blinded, self-deluding fools who are playing with eternal damnation like it's a game of checkers at the corner store.

If we are controlled by an alien race, we're probably nothing more than a source of entertainment. Kind of reality TV for the cosmos.

We're probably overestimating our own importance in the grand scheme of things, in any event. I still say the safest bet is God. Even if hell doesn't exist, at least you won't go there, and religious arguments played out in the public arena make alien TV ratings go up during sweeps week.
