Because once you're dead, you're not obligated to answer anymore questions by atheists. besides, are you even sure you're going to know any answers at all once you're dead? In other words, it's a great way to market religion, by appealing to human's curious side.

They keep that carrot dangling in front of believers for as long as they can. Because once you're dead, you can't give them any more money. And if everything ended up being lies, dead people don't ask questions.

All the answers you need are in the Bible. Its the Gospel Truth which forewarns us to get ready.

Who says you'll know them then? Oh wait, I know who....
That's what they say, not what they know.
They say it because they don't actually have a clue, and they need something to hope for.

I question about that as well!
Gary: If Jesus is a son of God, he would not say that!
What about people before Jesus. Did they all went to hell? And why he didn't come sooner to save everyone!

actually you dont, its called self-realization, it is just in modern christianity that has lost itself. Look up the roots of christianity, or mysticism, try sufi muslim or tibetan buddhist, but it will hurt, i warn you,,,,,,it takes years to understand any of these...We all have the ability to talk to God, but it is not what you think.....
