that you could live with your loved ones eternally why would turn your back on that? Is it that you just can't believe or that you don't want to believe?

Alright I'm the real God. Worship me, after all there is the slightest chance that I'm telling the truth. I'm just down here on Earth posing as a regular human being. Remember, there is the slightest chance I'm telling the truth. I promise you that the God your worshiping now won't give you eternity with your loved ones. I will. There is the slightest chance I'm telling the truth. So what have you got to lose ?

Okay, here's the thing - Christianity says you get to live with your loved ones eternally ONLY IF THEY ARE CHRISTIANS AND SAVED. If they're not, then you get to live eternally knowing that your loved ones are burning in a lake of fire!!! Yeah, let me run right over and start believing that to provide me comfort about the afterlife.
And incidentally, you are not the ONLY people on this planet who believe our spirits are eternal. You're just one of the only people who use scare tactics about death and the afterlife to convert people.

Search for Pascal's Wager. This gets asked about 500 times a day.
There is no evidence that there is a god. It isn't rational or reasonable to believe in things without any evidence to back it up. You would be stuck with hundreds of thousands of gods and everything else that human imagination could come up with.
Not believing in god, is the same as not believing in Odin, Zeus, Ra, Hera, The Great Spirit, Osiris, The Flying Spaghetti Monster and all the others. I would be no less surprised of evidence of Odin was found than I would be if evidence of your god was.

For countless reasons, I think your account of the nature of God and the nature of the cosmos are incoherent, barbaric, and perhaps downright malevolent. Your account of the alleged situation regarding human life after death, and your demands for thought and behavior that follow from that account, are not credible. Therefore, even though I desire eternal life, I will not look for it by following your religion.

God wont' be fooled by those who believe out of fear of punishment and wish of seeing loved ones, God is the only reason to believe in god. He is a jealous god and will punish those who claim to believe simply to attain another goal. Using your logic puts your fate in peril.

Belief is in reality the problem. If you cling to theological dogma you won't be living with anyone eternally-you'll be living with your own self delusion. Why are religionists so spiritually retarded?

Okay, let us fight fire with fire. I believe that placing yourself in bio stasis is a much better likelihood of living longer. Why not try that?

Wouldn't want to. It'd be nice if I could meet new people to love.
