We don't have these options, and I'm not going to justify another's actions, without knowing the whole situation.
The being made our reality, its levels of comprehension are slightly more advanced than murdering people; thus there is a logical reason for it somewhere, it is just our lack of discernment.
In my opinion.
If the unjust, illogical and irrational religious requirements settings by the illogical god (in god's narrative):
Who are we to say; here is a being with a lot more advanced knowledge than any of us have, deciding this is the best outcome...

Should anyone think it's their mistake not to fulfilled those faulty religious requirements?
We failed. We ate the blue pill instead of the red pill. That's faith.So lets say we've already failed, and along comes Judgement day on earth, where after there will be eternal life in paradise on the new earth; everyone else is to be chucked into the incinerator...
What would you plead to show that there has been a mistake in why you should be worth keeping?
In my opinion.
FWIW, I approached this hypothetical in pretty much the same way that I'd approach other important questions like "which would win in a fight: the USS Enterprise or a Star Destroyer?"
Seems like you're not abiding by the parameters of @wizanda 's hypothetical: it's a given in the scenario that regardless of what you previously thought about Judgement Day, you're standing before God who is getting ready to cast you into Hell (or just annihilate you or whatever). What would you do in that situation?
As well you should.

Reading the responses, it is apparent it was a hypothetical intended for those who think they are wits, who don´t believe in judgement, and have little theological knowledge. In other words, a waste of time.So lets say we've already failed, and along comes Judgement day on earth, where after there will be eternal life in paradise on the new earth; everyone else is to be chucked into the incinerator...

Nothing is ever a waste of time for the wise, as we can always learn from the opposite reactions...
Haven't said not to question it, said to appeal the whole case with your best arguments...
This is a totally different situation; the early Americans performing the actions of the Manifest Destiny wern't doing so based on logic, yet greed.
Twice your referenced logic. Today something being logical means " I have an opinion, therefore it is logical ". Not so, logic is a method of thought, with rules, that leans to a logical conclusion. Logic is a discipline, a method.Nothing is ever a waste of time for the wise, as we can always learn from the opposite reactions...
So this survey has shown that if Christ gave an appeal option, many would just argue against the premise of it even existing, and forget they have no option to begin with.
It also shows that some religious groups think they're automatically not included, and can't even answer a theoretical question properly.

All I'm saying is the being we're dealing with is 100% logical, and thus it has to be a good argument; not arguments of thinking the being is stupid, therefore we don't have to listen to a being that has the potential to create a new reality.
My mum gave a great argument for example, she asked the being what it wanted, and emphasized with its qualities to find out what it's criteria were...
Most are so full of their own ego, they answer from their own rejections, and don't assess the being who is the authority in the situation...
Which proves we're near Hell, as everyone wants to argue first, before reason.
This is a totally different situation; the early Americans performing the actions of the Manifest Destiny wern't doing so based on logic, yet greed.
In my opinion.
The OP said we're sent to the incinerator to be destroyed....
If we understood the method of logical reasoning, we'd have notice the OP sets out a couple of premise, and that it was a hypothetical question; therefore there would be a logical answer within the confinements of the criteria set.
