First of all, the answer would strongly depend on where I end up. If I ended up in Heaven despite all my sins, I would be happy. If I ended up in Hell despite all my virtues, I would be anguished. If I ended up born as an untouchable despite all my Karma, I would be sort of confused because I don't really understand how Hinduism works. If death is the end, I wouldn't be anything.

Second of all, I'm a little confused by some of the responses on these boards. If all you respond to a hypothetical question in philosophy is, "Man I don't give a fuck that wouldn't happen anyway," or the ever popular, "I'm not a Christian and don't believe in god so fuck that," aren't you missing the point of philosophy? The goal is to stretch your beliefs and your understandings, not to regurgitate the moral meal you've already eaten.
