I ran into this, so forgive me if you've heard it before.  The general case goes like this:

It can even be broken down loosely into a truth table:

(then again, if god exists and is malevolent, we're all pretty much screwed regardless of belief).

The site leaves out true believer - but I'll see what I can add for convince:

7.  If you truly believe and you are a good person and god is benevolent, you will be fine.
8.  If you truly believe and are a good person and god is malevolent, you may not be fine.
9.  If you truly believe and are a good person and god does not exist, you will not have to hear that you were mistaken.
10.If you truly believe and are a vile person and god is benevolent, you may or may not be fine.
11. if you truly believe and are a vile person and god is malevolent, you may or may not be fine.
12. If you truly believe and are a vile person and god does not exist, well at least you will die eventually.

I would consider a god who puts Gandhi in hell (non-believer) and Torquemada in heaven (or any other zealot who wreaked havoc) to be a malevolent entity.

Opinions?
