A:
It has been established beyond reasonable doubt that Moses did not write the first five books of The Bible, known to Christians as the Pentateuch. If Christianity is based on fact, then there can be no danger in accepting the facts as they are. Only fallacious religions need fear their followers learning that not all traditions are actually true.

Answer 2
If the question is asking "What earthly peril befalls a person who suggests that Moses did not write the Pentateuch?" then the answer is contingent on history, not the authorship of the Pentateuch.

While currently both Jewish and Christian communities accept and tolerate the "blasphemy" that Moses did not write the Pentateuch (although will not believe it themselves), there are no earthly penalties or retributions taken for this affront. Historically, Jews would punish those who committed blasphemy, advocated for it, and failed to retract it with excommunication. This effectively prevented a person from making a living or intermingling in society. Christian punishments were typically much more severe, resulting in torture in many "inventive" forms, forced recanting of "blasphemous speech", and execution in certain cases.

How did Moses write the first books of the Bible and write of his own death?

The first five books of the Bible, known collectively as the Pentateuch, are traditionally attributed to Moses. A well known problem with this is that the Pentateuch reports the death of Moses. One solution put forward is that God told Moses of his own future, while another, more plausible solution is that The Pentateuch was completed after his death. Another, less well known problem with authorship by Moses is that his own father-in-law is given three different names in different places. You would expect that Moses would at least know the name of his own father-in-law! In fact, scholars tell us that the Pentateuch had not one, but four different authors, and was written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses. This is why there are so many 'doublets' - passages written twice and in each case somewhat differently. It is also the reason that the writing style changes from place to place, and why early Hebrew is mixed with a later version of the Hebrew language. Moses did not write the first books of the Bible and, of course, did not write of his own death.

What books did Moses write?

Traditionally, Moses is said to have written the first five books of the Old Testament, known to Christians as the Pentateuch. However, some scholars now say that it is clear that Moses did not write any of the Old Testament, and that the scriptures only began to be written many centuries after the time attributed to him. On this evidence, Moses did not write any books of the Old Testament, and he did not write any other books that we know of.For more information, please see:http://christianity.answers.com/theology/moses-in-history-and-traditionhttp://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-pentateuch-explained
