OK, the thought of floating around bored for like 6 billion years scares the living crap out of me as well. But given that it isn't like we have a Time-Life guide to the afterlife, what would you do if someone proved that the existence of God was fake? Would you still live a moral life knowing full well that it didn't make one bit of difference or would you instead try to fulfill all the pleasures of the flesh in say the length of time in takes to play a major league baseball game?

I believe the Bible is the Word of God, so I take it seriously. I do not follow God out of fear...or I would certainly try to be a better person in many area. I love my Lord and I want to share the good news that God loves us. We have a choice. You can ignore this truth, but heaven is a real place. I love to worship Him here so it is not going to be a problem to me in heaven either.
There is a lot of things in this world that we do not have exhausting understanding and we accept it. Why not God. I do not undertand everything, but I know the One who knows everything. And I rely on His understanding. His offer is generous. His offer is full of mercy. There are some aspects that do not seem to fair and you might not like it, but what is the other alternatine??? What is your plan B? I do not have the authority to say that everyone is going to be OK in the end. But I would not be surprised by it. Mortality rate is 100 %, once we are here, we all will leave one way or other.
Of the record, I bleive that theire is a God school after we all know the fact that God exists. Al people are going to go to that school and they can ask all the questions they have and then they can decide if they want to be with God. This is nowhere in the Bible, but if I pray that my Lord will save all the people who will want to be with Him after they are dead and once they know that God is real..I believe He hears me out. He hears me out because it was Him who taught me to love one another, good and bad. : )

I don't believe in God because I don't see any evidence for it. If someone offerred convincing proof I'd be willing to change my mind. And no, the Bible is not proof.
As for morality, I live a moral life even though I don't believe in any afterlife. Morality does not have to be based on religion. You should read "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Camus if you're curious about how ethics can exist unsupported by religion.

The vast majority of humans do not need the threat of "eternal damnation" to encourage them to lead a "moral" life. You don't need to invent a god to realize the idea of "doing unto others as you would have them do to you" makes the smartest sense when trying to survive as only one of several billion people. "God" is not necessarilly a "fake", but in all likelihood He is a human invention...that's why there are so many of "Him"!....

i personally don't live for god nor live just to die and hopefully go to heaven. i live because i want to and i want to because of earth and humanity. science and nature are my religions and earth and humanity are my heaven.
i don't suffer here just so that a fat *** sitting on his throne can be more powerful, i struggle so that my grandchildren and the good citizens of humanity can reach out and achieve the impossible. so that life can expand to places it never had the chance to get to.
never mind he cant be proved, even if was proved i still wouldn't serve him.

Do you understand what faith is? You can answer this question by asking yourself, Am I going to wake up tomorrow? If your answer is yes then that is a demonstration of faith. For you don't know for sure but you believe you will. Christians live by faith.

Let someone offer said proof. Then we'll talk about it. Until then, no, I won't believe.
