What would you do? What you think about all the money you could have saved instead of giving to the church?

When people come to the end of their life it seems the least of their concerns is money. Ive given money to churches as have many people but Ive given even more to Bill Gates, Movie Stars, Clothing Designers and Car Manufacturers. Since I cant take any of those things with me either, why would it be different than if there was no afterlife? I dont regret a single penny Ive given to Church, even if there is no God and no afterlife. Because unlike all the others, they helped me find peace and that peace helped me get through all life's problems that come whether you have money or not.

Thats really ridiculous. A person if there is nothing beyond life wont realize it before death and sure would not after death.
BUT when the person dies and there is an afterlife, said person will not FULLY realize or experience it until After the last breath has been expelled.
Your reasoning is really fouled up.

"If you WERE about to die..."??? Do you mean in a few seconds, minutes, hours, days, years...
Because right now you could be dying and not know it. But if you were to suddenly realize that, think about this...
It is appointed for a man to die once, then the judgment.
There will not be time to rethink things.

What if you lived your life like there was no God and you stole money from the Church rather than giving it to them and then when you were about to die you found out that there really is a God?

Face the music.
Its just like not caring all your life then just before dying you realize there IS an afterlife. Good luck either way!

If you were about to die and were thinking about something as foolish as money, consider asking yourself much deeper questions. Do you not realized that the money you'd have saved would be perfectly meaningless to you?

then your life as well as your afterlife are about to REALLY suck since that is where you are going whether you believe in it or not...
just because I SAY IT DOESN'T exist does not make it so...
THERE ARE ONLY THREE THINGS THAT YOU CAN TAKE INTO THE NEXT LIFE..MONEY IS NOT ONE OF THEM...
1. YOUR SOUL AND KNOWLEDGE
2. YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM
3. YOUR FAMILY
BY FAMILY I MEAN..WHEN YOU SEE THEM THERE..THEY WILL ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS FAMILY..(THOSE WHO DIED BEFORE YOU...)

So don't give money to a church. Problem solved.

If you have been living a good life only in hope of reward, you've missed the point.

Luckily, there are those of us who realize this fact early in life!
