That's how you tell a true believer: they actually think it's going to change God's mind on what happens to you after you die.

Fun fact: if there is a God, he'll know full well what you did, that you kept your mouth shut all those years to advance your career and that only out of fear are you coming clean now.

As an atheist (ex-catholic), I am always amazed at the amount of religious people who think "sins" are a sum-zero game.

In their minds it's "Oh, now to do something good for the homeless to offset my work theft!".
